What's at Canada Place

Canada Place is the waterfront landmark at the foot of Burrard Street, identifiable by the five white sail-roof structures over the building. It houses:

  • Vancouver Cruise Terminal for Alaska and Pacific Northwest sailings (May to October)
  • Vancouver Convention Centre East and West for trade shows and conferences
  • FlyOver Canada indoor flight simulator
  • Pan Pacific Hotel built into the complex
  • The Port of Vancouver authority building

Cruise passengers often arrive in Vancouver one or two nights before sailing (or one or two nights after, depending on direction) to give the trip a city stop. Hotels in walking range of Canada Place handle most of this traffic.

The hotels built into or adjacent to Canada Place (Pan Pacific, Fairmont Pacific Rim) offer the shortest walk to the terminal and are the default cruise-line recommendations. Pinnacle Hotel Harbourfront and Auberge are also right on the waterfront.

Hotels along Burrard (Century Plaza, Wedgewood, Sutton Place, Sheraton Wall Centre) sit 15 to 20 minutes south. The trade-off: a longer luggage walk to the terminal (most cruise passengers take a short taxi or rideshare from these hotels), but more dining and shopping options, lower nightly rates in many cases, and walking access to Davie Village, English Bay, and Robson Street if the cruise stop is a sightseeing buffer.

Century Plaza Hotel at 1015 Burrard Street fits this second tier. All-suite layout with kitchenettes in most suite types (useful for pre-cruise food prep), no resort or amenity fees, and walking distance to most downtown attractions. The hotel works for travelers who want their Vancouver stop to be more than a sleep before sailing.
