Driving directions from Vancouver International Airport: Take Grant McConachie Way over the Arthur Lang Bridge. Take the Granville St Exit and continue on Granville St N into downtown. After the Granville St Bridge, exit onto Seymour St and continue on Seymour to Dunsmuir St. Turn left onto Dunsmuir and hotel is on the left. Getting there: The Airporter shuttle does not stop at this hotel so taxis are the best way to arrive. Taxis charge metered fares of $26–$35 CDN. 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 the midst of a lively, walkable downtown area, with plenty of shopping, dining, nightlife, arts, and entertainment choices within a radius of 4 blocks. Several bus routes run through the area, and the Granville SkyTrain station is less than a block up Dunsmuir with trains to the suburbs. Four blocks away, SeaBuses cross Burrard Inlet to North Vancouver. Single fares on the public buses, SkyTrain, and SeaBus 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 the best way to travel from the city up the coast or to the islands. |
