Where to Stay

The following are some accommodations we recommend in the city. For starters, there are a variety of accomodations out at UBC. To learn more, visit the UBC Accomodations site. There are also guest rooms available at the Vancouver School of Theology (which, despite its name, is on the UBC campus).

One hotel we like is the Hampton Inn & Suites. We're told that all rooms have free Internet access, and there's wifi in the hotel's common areas. The location.

Another popular, inexpensive accommodation choice is the YWCA hotel, just around the corner from the Hampton. Here's a map.

The Blue Horizon Hotel (1225 Robson Street - here's a map). We've stayed there before and liked it. Website says free high-speed internet access in all rooms.

The Plaza 500 is on the corner of Cambie St and 12th Avenue, and we've recommended it in past years. Unfortunately it's closed for renovations right now.

HotelsCombined is a hotel search engine site that has kindly offered a 10% rebate on hotels booked through their web site.
