Vancouver is a compact but varied hotel market. Downtown hotels keep the waterfront, cruise terminal, shopping and business district close, while Yaletown and Coal Harbour offer different versions of central Vancouver. Airport-area hotels near Richmond are often better for early flights, car trips and lower nightly rates.
