Compact & Completely Westin

The Westin Grand Vancouver is a narrow tower of glass, standing *high* over Robson Street and the city's trendy Yaletown neighourhood, renowned for its cutting edge restaurants and fashionable boutiques housed re-purposed warehouses.

With 206 guestrooms and 4,000 square feet of meeting space, the Westin Grand is considerably more "compact" than her big sister, the Westin Bayshore - though they share the same family traits: Heavenly® Bed and Bath, thoughtful guest amenities, WestinWORKOUT®, and an overall sense of luxury and well-being. This is the brand, after all, that promises: "every element of your stay is created to leave you feeling better than when you arrived."

Deluxe Corner Suite

Three distinct guestroom and suite categories cater to a primarily corporate clientele, and three meeting rooms (scheduled for renovations) offer high ceilings and an abundance of natural light. Ideally suited for groups o 10-60 people;  the pool terrace can accommodate up to 100 outdoors, overlooking the architecturally celebrated Vancouver Public Library.

Like the Bayshore the Westin Grand is about a 15 minute walk to the Vancouver Convention Centre, and a five-minute walk to the Vancouver City Centre station for the Canada Line airport train. (Rather unbelievably I made it from the hotel, to the station, to YVR, and through airport security for a domestic flight in less than an hour!!)
