False Creek runs from English Bay up to the Science Center. There's now a walking and bike path that runs completely around False Creek - from English Bay, past Yaletown, around the Science Center, and up to Granville Island and beyond.

False Creek used to be Vancouver's industrial inner harbour. One-hundred years later, it has been retrofit and renovated and gentrified. Some of the architecture preserves that history. What remains now is a peaceful places where sky and sea meet. Ringed with places for coffee, places to sit and look at the sea and sky change as big and small boats move in and out of the inner harbour.

Top Central Vancouver Hotel Reviews

Fairmont Hotel Vancouver

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience at the fairmont "

The Parker Hotel and Rooftop

10/10 Excellent

"The service at this hotel truly stood out! We received a complimentary early check-in, and the staff even let us use the microwave downstairs since our room didn’t have one. On our last day, they arranged shuttle service to the SkyTrain to get us to the airport, even though the chauffeur was on break, such great hospitality! The rooftop was a whole vibe! The food was good, the service was excellent, and the servers were so friendly that we genuinely enjoyed chatting with them. We visited on a Sunday, which turned out to be perfect because they had live music. The rooms are a bit old-fashioned in style, but they were clean and had all the essentials, including L’Occitane toiletries, dimmable lighting, a coffee maker, and a mini fridge. Overall, a great stay with exceptional service! Would definitely come back and recommend to others."

Pan Pacific Vancouver

10/10 Excellent

"Upon check in, we were greeted by friendly staff, right from the door man to the reception. Our room was very spacious with a beautiful night view of Lions Gate Bridge, Christmas lights on Howe Street and Stanley Park. I’m sure the daytime view would be amazing on a clear day. Breakfast had quite a variety of options from fresh fruit to eggs Benedict. Our table was cleaned promptly so we could sit and enjoy the view while drinking our morning coffee "
