Top hotels in Uptown
Radisson Blu Vancouver Airport Hotel & Marina
Clean room, staff members were nice. Marina view awesome. Parking was $25 which I didn’t really think was right because after all we are staying at the hotel. Otherwise nice place to stay

Pinnacle Hotel Harbourfront
The room was clean especially the bathroom and linens, but the veranda needs to be clean. Some fixtures were outdated and most TV channels has no signals. Staff were friendly and considerate.

Pan Pacific Vancouver
The two key things for me at any hotel for me are a good bed and a quiet room, and this place delivered on both. I was checked in by the lovely Makoto. All the staff seem genuinely friendly and happy to help in any way they can. The room itself was very nice, with a lovely comfortable bed. Nice toiletries ...
