Recently, friends of mine traveling to Vancouver asked if I had a recommendation of where to stay. Having never been, I couldn't be of any real help other than to direct them to one of my favorite travel sites: Tablet Hotels. Tablet led me to the Shangri-La Hotel website (stunning gallery images) and now, nothing else will do. (Sadly, my wallet may not agree.)
I've stayed at Shangri-La properties in Hong Kong and am a fan of their unparalleled service. (And honestly, unparalleled is an understatement.) The location in Vancouver is stellar--downtown, with easy access to Stanley Park.
I'm sure there are fringe neighborhoods I've yet to learn about, but for my first trip, downtown is precisely where I want to be.
