Westin Grand Hotel Vancouver

Westin Grand Hotel Vancouver

Stayed here during our trip to Vancouver for my mom’s birthday. It’s located very close to Robson street if you’re a compulsive shopper. The lobby was kind of small and you had to take an elevator up 3 stories to get to it. But walking around downtown Vancouver, land is very scarce, so I’ll let that one slide. The hotel is very close to Stanley Park.

If you are taking a ferry to Victoria, stay elsewhere, because the drive from the hotel to the ferry is 45 mins. We found out the hard way and had to take a helicopter there (helipad was located in downtown).

Room space was okay. The bedroom was actually separate from the living room, which made the rooms feel smaller than they actually were. But the plus is you get a TV in the bedroom and the living room. The bathroom had sufficient space and was elegant. You could actually open the bathroom door without hitting someone sitting on the toilet…haha.

Paid $200/night for the rooms here. Considering the location, downtown Vancouver density, and the quality of the room, it was very good value. Booked it through www.Allure-Hotels.com

Brentwood Bay Lodge Victoria

We stayed for two nights on route to the Campbell River on a trip from London. The setting is beautiful with lovely views across the water, although a little isolated. Our room was by far the best that we had throughout our trip, incredibly comfortable and perfect for a romantic break. The shutters from the huge whirlpool bath can be left open to have a fabulous view across the bay, every conceivable luxury included in the room – even a kettle as well as a French coffee maker with a variety of herbal teas available. The staff were friendly and helpful, working out routes for our next stage of the journey. Lovely small swimming pool and tub on the deck. Food interesting in the main restaurant, but not quite so exciting in the pub. We loved this hotel – a real treat.

My husband and I pored over hotels to choose one for our honeymoon. We finally settled on a penthouse suite here and absolutely could not have been more pleased. We LOVED this place! ALL of the staff we came into contact with were welcoming, friendly, and went above and beyond to be helpful. They drew us a map to the airport at 5am and even went so far as to help me arrange secret surprises for my husband’s birthday and sneakily orchestrate them! In all the service we encountered even the smallest details were attended to. The location is FANTASTIC for anyone who wants to be close to downtown but not right in the middle of the busy traffic and challenging parking. The wonderful public market and numerous restaurants and shops are just a quick walk away, as are the ferries that take you to other parts of Vancouver.

Rosedale on Robson in Vancouver

Review of the Rosedale on Robson in Vancouver
Nov 2008
We stayed for a week at the Rosedale. It is well located to take advantage of all of the attractions in downtown

Vancouver and puts you on the edge of all the great food and lifestyle in Yaletown. We took in a Canucks game (tickets

on game day from the concierge) and the Ballet (theatre two blocks north).

We had an upper floor suite which was clean, modestly appointed, comfortable. This isn’t a hotel to be pampered in, but

one that offers a comfortable stay at a good price. It is surprisingly dated for being a fairly new property.

We used the pool everyday and appreciated how clean it was. Unfortunately, the hot tub was out of service for three of

the six days that we were there.

Breakfast was a bonus. It had all of the basics (toast, danish, fruit, yogurt, cereal, juice, coffee). Nothing fancy but a

solid start to the day.

Romantic Travel

September 18, 2008

Romantic Travel
Let this be the year that your travel plans focus on fun, fantasy, and festivities!
Plan a real vacation. No, it doesn’t have to be an around the world cruise or first class getaway. It does have to be an honest-to-goodness vacation, though. No cell phones, no laptops, no kids no business. Mark the dates on the calendar and keep it just like you’d keep any other appointment. Romantic travel you owe it to yourself.
Involve each other in the trip planning. All too often, one partner does all the work in planning the trip. Plan your trip together! Anticipation is half the fun. Visit a travel agent. Collect brochures. Buy a guidebook. Rent a video about your destination. Search the internet for information.
Do something or go somewhere that you have never done before. You can be as mild — or as wild — as you dare. Go whitewater rafting. Rent a houseboat. Take a hot air balloon ride. Spend the night in a local bed and breakfast. Learn to scuba dive. Dance the whole night away under the stars. The choice is yours.
Take one mini-vacation every month or two. Whether it’s for a couple of nights or just for the night out, plan one tiny slice of a vacation every month, give yourself that small pleasure knowing you are going to drop everything and make that quick dash to somewhere special.
Go to a festival. Special events take place at just about every community around the world. Whatever your interests — from outdoor adventure, square dancing to wine tasting — you’ll find a festival celebrating with a day or two of fun and food.
The only rule: you must pretend you’re on vacation. Book a night at a local bed and breakfast. Call your local hotel and find out their non-peak nights (in business-oriented cities, it’s usually Friday and Saturday) then plan your short romantic getaway.
Remember Romantic travel you owe it to yourself. Go rejuvinate your senses !

You dont have to be on a Honeymoon to stay at one of these !
