The Rosewood Hotel Georgia is a historic property with a downtown Vancouver location. The 156 rooms and suites are luxurious and sophisticated, with plush furnishings, huge flat-screen TVs, and massive marble bathrooms with heated floors.

Property highlights include a funky indoor pool, modern fitness center, rooftop alfresco lounge, and 24-hour room service. This pet-friendly property also has a central location for exploring downtown Vancouver's main attractions.

The Shangri-La offers uber-luxe digs in Downtown Vancouver. Catering to the business traveler (mainly due to its location), the hotel's large rooms feature free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs with DVR, bedside controls for curtains and lights, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking downtown. But the massive granite-and-marble bathrooms are the real highlight, featuring separate showers and tubs, as well as flat-screen TVs. The hotel also has a Jean-Georges restaurant and a hip spa, both of which are extremely pricey and only add to the hype.

A small, upper-middle-range boutique hotel in Downtown Vancouver, the Moda Hotel offers reasonably priced rooms in a convenient location near Robson Square. The popular wine bar and excellent Italian restaurant are highlights, but it's an older property, and there are a few lingering issues under the veneer of boutique-y decor. The rooms are small, with cute but basic contemporary style, and amenities are few -- the hotel lacks room service and a fitness center.

This budget hotel on the edge of Downtown Vancouver features drab, motel-quality one-bedroom suites. It's a family-friendly option, though, with kitchenettes and pull-out sofas, as well as laundry facilities and an indoor pool. Note that the Carmana Plaza's apartment-style rooms are a significant step up in terms of quality, so it's worth comparing rates.

The Carmana Plaza offers 96 apartment-style rooms in the heart of downtown Vancouver. The upscale suites come with fully equipped kitchens, multiple bedrooms, tastefully furnished rooms, and free Wi-Fi. In many cases, they have stunning views of the mountains or the city through floor-to-ceiling windows. There is no on-site dining or bar, but the hotel's central downtown location means that there are lots of nearby options. Other features include a laundry room, larger meeting room with a small catering kitchen, and a fitness center. Secure parking is available for an additional charge. A downtown alternative with a more traditional hotel experience and full gourmet restaurant is the Shangri-La Hotel, Vancouver -- though rates are higher.

The Vancouver Extended Stay is a mid-range option for guests who want to rent a full apartment for at least three nights. While the apartments are stylish with modern furniture and appliances, and are decked out with full kitchens and laundry facilities (some have balconies), the property doesn't offer much more than accommodations. There's a fitness center, but no public spaces or restaurant. The posh neighborhood of Coal Harbour, and nearby Robson Street, however, offer many choices for dining and shopping, and the beach is within walking distance. Free parking and Wi-Fi are nice perks. Overall, the vibe is corporate and sterile, and perhaps a little dull, but the location is convenient and the units are clean. Check rates at Home Suite Home for another extended stay option; it's got a homier vibe, but a less ideal location.

The Listel Hotel Vancouver, with 119 guest rooms and 10 one-bedroom suites, is a mid-range property with a sophisticated vibe. Art lovers in Vancouver would have a hard time finding a hotel better decorated with paintings, sculptures, and prints, most of which are on loan from the nearby Stewart Stephenson Modern Art Gallery. The popular Forage Restaurant, which prides itself on a locally-focused menu and non-fussy service, serves three meals a day. Rooms are contemporary with original artwork, high thread-count sheets, flat-screen TVs, coffeemakers, and mini-fridges, but watch out for the daily facilities fee.

The service bonuses are delightful at the Metropolitan Hotel, from turndown service to free newspapers to morning limo rides in the hotel’s Jaguar. It doesn’t hurt that the two resident restaurants offer delicious and varied dishes (upscale Chinese; creative continental), and that the waterfront and downtown mall are within a five-minute walk. It might not be as shiny as the Four Seasons across the street, but the Met is a great upscale value for the neighborhood, especially for adult guests of the touring or business variety.
