Vancouver Convention Centre Convention Transfers

Just outside Vancouver’s industrial shoreline neighborhood of Coal Harbor, the Vancouver Convention Centre offers bright lookouts of the water from stylish terraces to a near all-glass facade that gives the facility the resemblance of a modern boat. The complex is made up of two structures dubbed East Building and West Building - the East Building, also known as ‘Canada Place’ is home to a massive exhibition hall, about two-dozen meeting rooms and a banquet room, while the West Building offers double the space in a convention hall. Other fun attachments include a shopping mall, hotel and ferry terminal, not to mention casual seawall views from Stanley Park. Those more interested in leaving the area should consider one of many private lifts ideal for getting self-guided tours, whether that means reserving a quiet sedan for seeing things from an intimate perspective or booking a chartered bus to take everyone along for the ride. Meet-and-greet services provide even more ambiance, whether it be simple taxi drop offs to Vancouver International Airport or local personal drivers who know the area well.

Beyond lavish business amenities and dramatic lookouts, guests have an array of nearby landmarks to look forward to in the form of nearby hotels. Those looking to stay close to the East Building should stay in the Pan Pacific Hotel Vancouver, a luxury 5-star resort renowned for its uplifting views from rooftop terraces and pools, while those more interested in staying close to the West Building can choose from one of many luxury rooms at the Fairmont Pacific Rim. Urban ways to unwind include Burrard Landing’s multiple levels of shopping attached to the convention center as well, though vivid afternoon views can be experienced through the Seawall Water Walk’s towering mountainous views. And when the evening winds finally comes to a close, consider the beauty of conversation from one of many restaurants located at the convention center, choosing between Cactus Club Cafe’s ritzy but hearty dishes or Tap & Barrel modern take on Pacific Northwest cuisine.
