CENTURY PLAZA HOTEL, Vancouver

The hotel is adjacent to St. Paul's Hospital and a major road, so street noise and sirens are common, especially on lower floors. The cruise terminal is a 20-minute walk or a 5-minute cab ride away. Rogers Arena is a 5-minute drive or 15-minute walk. Public transport is accessible: Burrard SkyTrain station is 1 km away, a bus stop is right outside, and the hop-on hop-off bus stops in front. The area feels safe to walk at night and is close to many restaurants and a grocery store.

Room types include studio rooms with one double bed or two double beds, and one-bedroom suites with a separate living room and either a king or two twin beds. Some studios on the 6th floor have walk-in showers and grab bars for mobility needs. Upper-floor rooms offer excellent sea, mountain, and city views. Many studios and suites have a balcony. In summer, larger suites may get warm due to sun exposure, so studio suites are recommended for comfort. Some rooms retain dated fixtures and older bathrooms, while others have been refreshed. Noise from sirens and street traffic can be noticeable, so light sleepers should bring earplugs and an eye mask.

C|Prime operates dine-in and takeout, and its breakfast has been noted for good quality, though the breakfast system uses a voucher for a set amount per person at the restaurant rather than a full buffet. Beyond Coffee is open 07:00-18:00 daily, serves gelato, and offers a voucher option when declining daily room cleaning. Guests can also find a variety of nearby restaurants within a 5-minute walk, including Italian, Japanese, and French options. Self-catering is practical due to in-room kitchens and an IGA grocery store nearby.

The indoor pool is located in the basement and is not heated to a high temperature, but is clean and usable. The steam room is available but may take time to heat up. The fitness centre has cardio machines, weight stations, dumbbells, free weights, and a surf balance board, with towels provided. A golf course is within 3 km (additional charge).

Paid on-site parking (CAD 22.13/night), a parking garage, and accessible parking are available. Additional services include a hair salon, concierge, currency exchange, tour desk, and safety deposit box. The hotel is wheelchair accessible and has a lift. Pets are allowed on request with a daily charge. The on-site laundry room is open 24 hours. Business facilities include a free business centre and meeting/banquet rooms (additional charge).
