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.

I had an amazing stay at Paradox. The staff were friendly and went above and beyond to cater to our needs. My puppy had an amazing time too. They left some treats and toys for him to play with

9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,004 reviews)
Comfortable bed, good chairs for reading. Staff was helpful and pleasant. Great location. Our only issue was that the A.C made loud, clunks when it cycled on and off, and the toilet ran continuously if we didn’t jiggle the handle. We decided to live with it, but hotels often overlook maintenance. Otherwise great place.
