Bed and Breakfasts: Accommodations that are a Step above Ordinary
There are a lot of options when it comes to finding places to stay in Vancouver, and the range of accommodations varies from huge, extravagant hotels to simple one-night stay over locations. However, if you’re looking for something that’s not only comfortable but quaint, consider taking a look at one of the many Vancouver bed and breakfasts available. Let’s take a quick look at some of the more popular bed and breakfasts around the Vancouver area.
One of the most accommodating Vancouver bed and breakfasts is the O Canada House, which was constructed in 1897, and is located in West End. It is a few minutes walk from Stanley Park, as well as ferry service to Granville Island, the famous Robson Street stores and restaurants, as well as transportation to the downtown metropolitan area. The O Canada House won the prestigious “City of Vancouver Heritage Award of Honor” in 1997, for its outstanding refurbishment and interior decoration in the Victorian style of Queen Anne. This bed and breakfast has consistently prided itself on excellent service and a high quality of accommodations.
The Barclay House offers an almost totally opposite take on the classic Vancouver bed and breakfast that you see at the O Canada House, as it is a fully modernized, urban style accommodation. It is listed as a five-star hotel, and has a focus both on luxury and on presenting a modern setting for guests to enjoy. It is located centrally in downtown Vancouver, within immediate distance of several major attractions, such as the English Bay, Stanley Park, the Seawall, and the Vancouver Aquarium. Guests can also enjoy the nearby Granville Island open air market, and many cruise ships dock nearby at the Canada Place Cruise Terminal. If you’re looking for a bed and breakfast with access to almost every area of Vancouver that caters to modern tastes, the Barclay House is sure to meet your particular needs.
Another Vancouver bed and breakfast you’ll definitely want to check out is the Arbutus Vista, which is located in West End as well. West end is one of the most prestigious neighborhoods in Vancouver, and the Arbutus Vista certainly lives up to the reputation that the neighborhood carries. It is very close to downtown, and features a number of different housing benefits, from space to comfort, privacy to quiet, quality amenities and excellent breakfasts that come together to form outstanding accommodations.
