Up-to-date amenities include an outstanding fitness center with a yoga studio, a rooftop heated pool open year-round, and a high-end spa.

With its focus on sustainable business practices plus mountain and water views, the 489-room Fairmont Waterfront checks all the boxes for a quintessential Vancouver experience. This upscale property has large outdoor pool, but it's the small details like an on-site beehive and herb garden that give it an edge. Oh, and the harbor views don't hurt either. Rooms are tastefully finished in light tans and blues, and many have those same harbor views. While the hotel's access to downtown attractions makes it tourist-friendly, the Vancouver Convention Centre is also nearby for business travelers. These benefits come at a price, but location is key in Vancouver. Travelers looking to be even closer to the water should look at the Pan Pacific Vancouver, directly across the street, which adds a spa.

The 116-room Ramada Inn and Suites is a decent pick for value-minded partiers. Located in Downtown Vancouver, the hotel offers fairly comfy, small rooms with plain decor, plus studios and suites that come with kitchens. But there's little in the way of amenities -- just free passes for a fitness center down the street, a free business center, and a loud, hip nightclub on the ground floor.

This 77-room luxury boutique has a modern, stylish feel, with a glam lobby (think: velvet couches, dark wood ceilings, and a stunning black-and-white granite fireplace surround) and a popular French bistro. The large, sleek rooms may be the highlight, with subtle earth tones, floor-to-ceiling windows, and decadent marble bathrooms, but the Downtown Vancouver location is convenient as well. The only real downsides are the extra fees for valet parking and Wi-Fi.

Despite the "St. Regis" name, this historic, mid-range boutique hotel in Downtown Vancouver is unaffiliated with the famous luxury brand. Rooms are on the small side for Vancouver, but they are cute and modern, and extras like free breakfast, free Wi-Fi, and free long-distance calls add value. There's a casual bar and grill on-site, and two excellent restaurants next door: Gotham Steakhouse and the chic Shore Club Restaurant.

This elegant 557-room hotel is housed in a historic building across from the Vancouver Art Gallery, in the heart of Downtown. The gorgeous indoor pool, the excellent Griffins Restaurant, and the big, modern fitness center make this property a reliable upscale pick. But some rooms are dated, bathrooms are nothing special, and guests might feel nickel-and-dimed due to the number of extra charges, including the fees for water bottles in the rooms, parking, and Wi-Fi.

The Auberge Vancouver Hotel is a 60-room property located in the northeastern side of Downtown Vancouver, close to the waterfront and the Convention Center. Rooms have modern amenities (such as flat-screen TVs and iPod docks), fully equipped kitchenettes, and in many cases, stunning views. The decor features a few contemporary touches, but overall it's more run-of-the-mill than one might expect from a property that advertises itself as a luxury boutique. The high points of the hotel are the rooftop terrace with beautiful mountain and city views, the bright fitness center, and a wonderful indoor pool with sweeping views and a skylight.

The GEC Granville (formerly a Best Western) operates both as student housing and as hotel accommodations. Located in downtown Vancouver, western Canada's financial center, it has 143 bright, decent-sized rooms with flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, and in many rooms, microwaves and mini-fridges. But the decor is generic, and bathrooms are nothing special. The property features a fitness center with great downtown views, a Jacuzzi, gated parking, and great freebies, including Wi-Fi, shuttle service to any downtown attraction, and bike rentals. Overall, it’s a solid pick for value.
