Sonder at Revival Vancouver – Best Luxury Beach Hotel in Vancouver

☆☆☆☆ | Area: West End | 1771 Comox St. | Distance to the beach: 400 metres (5 min. walk)

The Sonder at Revival Hotel Vancouver is a boutique hotel that is located in Vancouver’s West End.

Unlike some other options on this list, the hotel offers a high-end experience with all the amenities one would expect from a luxury hotel.

It is also close to Stanley Park and the myriad of dining and nightlife options along Denman, Davie and Robson Streets.

You can relax in luxury while the facility’s earth tones and expansive windows complement Vancouver’s beauty and lush greenery. Many of the rooms also possess full kitchens and living rooms to help you feel at home after you return from the beach.

English Bay Hotel – Best Budget Beachside Hotel in Vancouver

☆☆ | Area: West End | 1150 Denman St. | Distance to the beach: 400 metres (5 min. walk)

The English Bay Hotel is a budget beach hotel with beautiful views of the surrounding ocean and beachfront.

This all-suite hotel offers guests all of the comforts of home. You’ll be provided with a full kitchenette, complete with a refrigerator, stovetop and microwave.

Unfortunately, the hotel doesn’t feature the most modern decor, so prices start at just $106.00, a very cheap price for downtown Vancouver—especially considering Vancouver’s top attractions are just around the corner.

How to Book the Best Beach Hotels in Vancouver

In building this Vancouver travel resource, I’ve had the chance to partner with dozens of hotel booking providers.

In the end, I’ve chosen Priceline for the following reasons:

• They’re a publicly traded company with a $78 billion market cap for utmost trust
• They offer the greatest range of Vancouver hotels
• They offer book-now-pay-later rooms, which help tons with budgeting
• They’ve got a lowest price guarantee that helps you save money

Finally, if you book using the links in the article, you’ll be helping me get one step closer to my dream: doing Vancouver Planner for a living.

We’re just two born and bred Vancouverites who want to share our city but can’t hire writers or have $100,000 in weekly ad spend like Tripadvisor and Narcity.

Every booking helps, and we thank you enormously.
