Planning An Itinerary for your Trip to Vancouver

YWCA Hotel is conveniently located right in the heart of downtown Vancouver’s arts and entertainment scene.

Located one block from the SkyTrain and two blocks from Rogers Arena, the YWCA Hotel is a brief stroll from Robson Street, the city’s popular downtown shopping mecca. We are also in the same area as the Vancouver Art Gallery, Queen Elizabeth Theatre and the beautifully designed Vancouver Public Library. A short walk will take you to Gastown, Chinatown, Yaletown and other nearby attractions.
