Hotels near Olympic Village and Mount Pleasant

Olympic Village, built for the 2010 Winter Olympics on the south shore of False Creek, looks directly across the water at BC Place. The seawall and the Main Street-Science World SkyTrain station make the stadium quick to reach, and the area has matured into one of Vancouver's better brewery and casual-dining districts.

Accommodation is limited inside Olympic Village itself, so look at the adjoining Mount Pleasant blocks, which add value-priced stays and a lively independent scene along Main Street.

Pro Tip: From Olympic Village you can walk the seawall around the east end of False Creek to BC Place in about 20 minutes, or ride one stop on the SkyTrain. The brewery row on Main Street near 2nd Avenue is the local pre-match gathering point.
