Treat the family to a boat cruise around the calm waters of English Bay. It's the best way to discover the area's superb natural beauty.

English Bay is an interesting place kick off your day in Vancouver. This inlet along the shoreline is recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only thing to do here. Allow time for other attractions like Stanley Park, Granville Island Public Market, and University of British Columbia to get a complete picture of what the area has to offer.

Overall our stay was amazing. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. However, on the last day during breakfast, my wife found a piece of broken plate in her food. That was disappointing and upsetting. Other than that, the service and hospitality were excellent.

Opus is a classy stay in Yaletown. In the heart of the restaurant district, and close to the arenas, great walking, and access to downtown, and gastown. Will definitely stay again.
