Muck.

A beautiful hotel is the PanPacific Hotel.. its quite expensive (we put up Catriona Le May Doan there for $400 a night). but you could probably get cheaper rooms due to the off season...

I would also recommend the 4 seasons (I love their half indoor, half outdoor heated pool), fairmont waterfront, or Opus (where all the celebrities stay).

the Hyatt, The Sutton, the Westin. all great...

Here is a link to Tourism vancouver's Special Hotel packages which are updated frequently.

Incidentally, the DVBIA is sponsoring granville as a "Tax free zone" event in October and you could get a room at a Ramada at a "Tax-free" rate.

Considering it's downtown.. thats not bad of a deal....

Sutton also does this amazing chocolate buffet (think all you can eat chocolate crepes, desserts, fruit fondue etc).... more details on that later if interested...

Before you book a hotel I recommend you read the reviews on Tripadvisor.com and save yourself some grief.

I once stayed at the Hampton Inn & Suites on Robson. Thought it would be ok as it is part of the Hilton.

Anyhow I got a Jacuzzi Suite with my husband and it was a blast. Floor to Ceiling windows over two sites too.

Can't remember how much I paid but thought you might want to check it out.

Guess it all depends on how much money you want to spend? I have always wondered about the Wall Center Hotel. ANybody stayed there. I think they were 3 bills a night.

I stayed there once and the service was poor, I had to complain to the manager so I got a free gift certificate for lunch.
