Club Intrawest Vancouver, Vancouver, Canada - Reviews and Hotel Information

The Sheraton Wall Center is a modern hotel located in the heart of downtown Vancouver. The area is safe and vibrant at all hours. If you want to be equal distance to most attractions, stay here.

It's two blocks south of the heart of shopping and restaurants on Robson Street. It's about a 10 minute walk down the road to the water taxis to Granville Island and about a 10 minute walk to the trendy heritage district of Yaletown. Gastown is less than 20 minutes north-west and Chinatown is 10 minutes beyond Gastown. Walk one block south to Davie Street and walk west and you're in the heart of Davie Village in the West End. Keep going down Davie Street for another 15 minutes and you'll end up at English Bay beach where Stanley Park is only a short jaunt down the seawall away.

I stayed here in June of 2006 after a work event. We were on the 8th floor in the North Tower looking south-east, which is considered a "city view". There were floor to ceiling windows, and if you have a view looking west and you're on a high enough floor, you'll be able to see mountains and sea.

This hotel appears to attract vacationers as well as business people, so it never truly feels like it's being dominated by a particular group of travellers. It's more modern and sleek in design as opposed to cozy and romantic.

We had a standard room (one bedroom, one bathroom) with all the amenities (TV, coffee maker, ironing board, etc). The design of the room was neutral earth tones with black and white photography of nature. I didn't stay long enough to really give the hotel a good exploration, but would certainly recommend this hotel to anyone who's looking for a central downtown location.

This hotel is located in two buildings: the North (newer) Tower and the South (older) Tower. The North Tower is actually the tallest building in Vancouver at the moment (soon to be taken over by the Shangri-La). It'll still remain Vancouver's tallest hotel. With its sleek two-tone glass facade, it's one of Vancouver's most recognizable skyscrapers.

For another amenities, there is a swimming pool, a health club, an onsite restaurant, and a gift shop. There are convenience stores and coffee shops along Burrard Street. I've never eaten at their restaurant, Indigo, but hotel restaurants tend to be more expensive and there are plenty of other restaurants to choose from a short walk away.

Public transportation is right outside the door and I know that this hotel is a pick-up stop for Victoria, whale watching, and and airport-bound shuttles.
