Coal Harbour has a fine selection of hotels that overlook the harbour ranging in price from $230 per night to over $500 for their most basic rooms. This is a prime location, close to Canada Place and the Vancouver Convention Centre, Gastown and Stanley Park. Guests can also enjoy runs or walks along the Seawall trail system from these hotels. If you want to be in the area and are looking for greater affordability, the Coast Coal Harbour is likely to surface as the best deal, but at these hotel prices the defining factor may likely be a matter of atmosphere and style.

While populated with mostly luxury hotels, our Editor's Pick, Coast Coal Harbour Hotel, is a more affordable choice. This modern waterfront hotel features free Wi-Fi, a 24-hour business centre, an indoor pool, an outdoor hot tub and an on-site restaurant with 24-hour room service. While the room rates are less expensive than other hotels in the area, you don't have to sacrifice the breathtaking water views. Rooms at this hotel feature floor-to-ceiling windows, perfect for viewing Vancouver Harbour and seeing the city lit up at night.
With a temperate climate, hotel rates in this area remain consistent throughout the year and there is only a slight increase during the summer months. However, with so many business offices and tourist attractions in the Vancouver area, room rates here are generally expensive. Plus, parking throughout Vancouver is expensive, and therefore, so are hotel parking fees. Coal Harbour hotels charge between $25 and $40 per night for parking, so if you bring a vehicle, be prepared for the extra fee on your bill!

Starting in Coal Harbour, travellers can follow the Seawall trail west to Stanley Park, which is a 25-minute walk away. Stanley Park is a national historic site and a 400-hectare urban park that features beaches, wildlife and hiking trails under the canopy of cedar trees. Tour the park by horse and carriage or pack your swimsuit and splash through the Second Beach Pool. It even houses the Vancouver Aquarium!
Al Fresco Dining
Dine at one of the area patios and take advantage of the mild Vancouver weather and Pacific Ocean views. Cardero’s Restaurant and Marine Pub offers diners views of the North Shore mountains and an extensive seafood menu, while the more casual Mill Marine Bistro borders the Seawall trail and features traditional pub fare.
Getting Around
Nothing is too far away in Coal Harbour, and most destinations are found within walking distance of area hotels. However, if you’re looking to explore other areas of the city, including downtown Vancouver attractions, public transit is available via bus or SkyTrain.

Pick-up the SkyTrain at the Waterfront Station (corner of Seymour Street and West Cordova Street) and it will take you all the way to the Vancouver International Airport (YVR) in Richmond.
