The Burrard Hotel —

This made‑over mid‑century motel, located between Vancouver’s vibrant West End and the downtown core, is a sleek hybrid of chic 1950s retro design and such contemporary conveniences as the on‑site Elysian Coffee, which pulls a mean espresso. Explore the neighbourhood like a cool kid would, thanks to the fleet of bright‑orange Brodie city‑cruiser bikes available free of charge to guests.
