Hotels near Downtown Core and Coal Harbour

The Downtown Vancouver core, stretching north to the Coal Harbour waterfront, holds the largest concentration of hotels in the city and is the default base for World Cup visitors who want everything close. You are within a 15-minute walk or a two-stop SkyTrain ride of BC Place Stadium, and steps from the shopping on Robson Street and the harbour walk toward Stanley Park.

This is where full-service international hotels are densest, and where the official fan activity downtown is likely to centre. Waterfront Station links the Canada Line, Expo Line, SeaBus, and West Coast Express, so onward travel across the region is simple.

Pro Tip: From the downtown core, the walk to BC Place down Granville or Beatty Street is often faster than the SkyTrain for a single stop. Save transit for return trips when the post-match crowd thins out the streets.
