Located on a narrow peninsula bounded by Burrard Inlet to the north, English Bay to the west, downtown Vancouver is the crown jewel of this lovely city.
The area can be divided into three main subsections: Yaletown, Gastown and the West End. It is bordered to the north by the magnificent Stanley Park and to the east by Chinatown.
Yaletown, once the historic warehouse district of the city and the Victorian-era Gastown have both been renovated and now offer a selection of shops and restaurants. Robson Street is Vancouver's most popular shopping promenade featuring upscale boutique shops, street-front cafes and restaurants.
Other notable points of interest in the Vancouver downtown area include The GM Place, the BC Stadium, Granville Island, Pacific Centre Mall, Vancouver Art Gallery and the Queen Elizabeth Theatre.
Hotels in downtown Vancouver offer visitors the opportunity to enjoy this wonderful city by foot. Most Vancouver hotels are only steps from the major attractions in the compact downtown area.
