Urban trekker Posted July 28, 2023 #4 Share Posted July 28, 2023 As Milhouse posted - there are three Fairmont hotels downtown - the Waterfront and Pacific Rim are only a couple of blocks apart and close to Canada Place while the hotel Vancouver is three or four blocks uphill from the port. Tell us which one you have booked and one of us locals will be able to answer your question properly,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urban trekker Posted July 29, 2023 #6 Share Posted July 29, 2023 That's the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver - which bus are you taking from Seattle - Quick Shuttle, Amtrak bus, Greyhound or some other bus line. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meander Ingwa Posted July 29, 2023 #9 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Your options are either get a cab or take the subway from the nearby Main Street station ( across the park). Alight at Garrard street and walk 1 block. You can see these station on you phones map app. I like Google Maps for getting around. Rome2Rio app is exceptionally helpful for finding navigation option, particularly when you are in a port City on your trip. If you are a traveler these two apps can be most useful . Day in and day out Google Maps is my busiest app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTJ Posted July 29, 2023 #10 Share Posted July 29, 2023 15 hours ago, Darstime said: Amtrak is the bus we are talking after the train Actually, Amtrak does not operate any buses. The railroad does sell tickets for some bus lines, which in this case (from Seattle to Vancouver) is for the bus line Cantrail Coach Lines Ltd., a bus company based in Vancouver. This bus company brings passengers to the Pacific Central railroad station, which is located about one and one-half mile from the Fairmont hotel Vancouver. If baggage is manageable then walking could be best: it is about 30 minutes on foot. You can use the SkyTrain service from the Main Street-Science World station (walk through the park across the street from the station to get there) to the Burrard station (two blocks from your hotel). Taxi is also available. Had you instead chosen to travel by Quick Coach Lines Ltd., then you would have had a slightly shorter distance to your hotel. This company regularly makes two stops in Vancouver, one at the Holiday Inn, on Helmcken Street at the corner of Howe Street, and another at Waterfront station, on Cordova Street at Granville Street. The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver is half-way between these two stops, about one-half mile distant from either (10 minutes walking). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
