Concierge.com's insider take:
With a prime location right on Vancouver's harbor, this 23-story hotel has some of the city's best views. (The only real competition comes from the Pan Pacific across the street, whose west-facing vistas are unobstructed.) The best place to enjoy the panorama is, without a doubt, the heated pool surrounded by an herb garden on the third-floor terrace; it seems to hang suspended between vistas of the North Shore Mountains and Stanley Park. Dinner at the on-site Herons Restaurant, with its two-story panes of glass overlooking city foot traffic, isn't too shabby, either. Three hundred of the 489 classically plush rooms and suites face the harbor, but the Signature suites and rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows and especially incredible views—including from the spacious marble bathrooms. Note that the hotel gets packed during high season because of its proximity to the Alaska cruise ship terminal.
