Driving directions from Vancouver International Airport: Follow Grant McConachie Way over the Arthur Laing Bridge. Exit onto Granville St and proceed over the Granville St Bridge. After the bridge, exit onto Seymour St, and continue to W Georgia St. Turn right onto Georgia and then left onto Cambie St. Hotel is on the left. Getting there: The Airporter shuttle comes to the hotel but because of one-way traffic, it drops off across the street. Single fares are $5–$15 CDN. Metered taxi fares are $26–$35 CDN but taxis arrive more quickly. Rental cars and limousines are more than $36 CDN. Fees subject to change without notice. Rental cars are available from this Web site. Getting around: The hotel is in Vancouver’s entertainment and sporting events area with football and hockey games, concerts, and exhibitions within a 4-block walk. Plenty of shopping, dining, nightlife, and entertainment choices also lie within a radius of 4 blocks. Several bus routes run through the area, and the Stadium SkyTrain station is a block away, for light rapid transit to the suburbs and for connection to SeaBuses which leave from Waterfront Station and cross Burrard Inlet to North Vancouver. Public bus, SkyTrain, and SeaBus fares run less than $5 CDN. Fees subject to change without notice. Driving in downtown can be confusing because of one-way streets but it is generally smooth and is the best way to travel from the city up the coast or to the islands. |
