Georgia, it&#8217;s tough to beat this central location in downtown Vancouver. It is within walking distance to nearly everything in the downtown core, and is only half a block away from the Skytrain station, so it provides easy access from YVR Airport. \u00a0For those who like to shop, it&#8217;s connected to the Pacific Centre Mall. \u00a0You don&#8217;t even have to put on a jacket and go outside. Just take the elevator down from your room and hundreds of shops await your credit card.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pool and Fitness Centre: \u00a0<\/strong>The pool is an indoor \/ outdoor pool which is slightly heated.\u00a0 It is really quite remarkable swimming outdoors and looking up at all the high rises because the hotel is in fact in the heart of Vancouver. \u00a0 Guests can enjoy lawn chairs on deck, complimentary newspaper, ice water and even Starbucks coffee. \u00a0This is probably one of my favorite fitness rooms. \u00a0One small complaint, I wish the machines faced the pool instead of the wall.\u00a0 The weights, pool and Jacuzzi are all in the same area and there is an attendant working on site.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Valet Parking:<\/strong> \u00a0Like most other high end hotels, the Four Seasons offers valet parking. Also like most other hotels, they charge &#8216;market rates&#8217; which in Vancouver, will cost you $48 per night. \u00a0The valet parking service was great however they need better signage to indicate where to turn into the hotel.\u00a0\u00a0 The entrance is off a one way street so if you miss the entrance, like I did, you need to circle around the block and then some to find until the one way streets align and you circle back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Guest Rooms:<\/strong> \u00a0The room was lovely, clean and elegant with a big spacious bathroom.\u00a0\u00a0 I was surprised to find that they only supply you with a coffee machine if you request one.\u00a0 I discovered this first thing in the morning which was disappointing because coffee is the first thing I go for.\u00a0\u00a0 The fitness centre and lobby do offer complimentary coffee so I didn\u2019t have too far to go to find a cup.<\/p>\n<p>Vancouver has a lot of great hotels to choose from, and the Four Seasons is among them. \u00a0Stay here for easy access to the Skytrain and Pacific Centre. The indoor\/outdoor pool is also a huge benefit because Vancouver can often be cold, cloudy and windy, even in the middle of winter. \u00a0The indoor \/ outdoor feature allows guests to enjoy the pool whatever the weather decides to do.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Traveling to Vancouver? \u00a0Find out what <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hoteldealsrevealed.com\/hotelinventory\/priceline\/bc\/vancouver\" target=\"_blank\">hotels are on Priceline<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hoteldealsrevealed.com\/hotelinventory\/hotwire\/bc\/vancouver\">Hotwire<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Four Seasons Hotel in Vancouver BC is has been around for a couple of decades and I have had the good fortune to visit it at least a dozen times over the last 20 years. \u00a0Not only is it one of my personal favorites, but travelers I chat with throughout the world seem to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":1215,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[120,56],"class_list":["post-1214","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-travel-tips","tag-priceline-canada","tag-vancouver"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hoteldealsrevealed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1214","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hoteldealsrevealed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hoteldealsrevealed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hoteldealsrevealed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hoteldealsrevealed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1214"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.hoteldealsrevealed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1214\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1267,"href":"https:\/\/www.hoteldealsrevealed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1214\/revisions\/1267"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hoteldealsrevealed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1215"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hoteldealsrevealed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1214"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hoteldealsrevealed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1214"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hoteldealsrevealed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<!-- html is corrupted -->
