Holiday Inn & Suites Vancouver Downtown, an IHG Hotel

Holiday Inn & Suites Vancouver Downtown, an IHG Hotel Overview

First Impressions

Walking into the Holiday Inn & Suites Vancouver Downtown, an IHG Hotel on Howe Street, you immediately get that reliable, no-nonsense vibe that makes business travelers and tourists alike feel at home. It’s a solid three-star property that doesn’t try to be something it’s not — and honestly, that’s exactly what I appreciated about it. The lobby has that clean, modern Holiday Inn aesthetic you’d expect, but the staff genuinely seemed happy to help rather than just going through the motions.

Location & Getting Around

The location is honestly fantastic — you’re right in the thick of downtown Vancouver without the chaos of being directly on Robson Street. I mean, you can walk to the Vancouver Art Gallery in about five minutes, and Canada Place is maybe a ten-minute stroll. What I really loved is that you’re close enough to everything but still on a quieter street, so you’re not dealing with constant traffic noise. The couples who stay here clearly get it — there’s something nice about being able to walk to dinner and drinks without needing transit or rideshares.

The Room Experience

My room was actually more spacious than I expected, especially considering downtown Vancouver real estate prices. The suite setup works well if you’re staying more than a couple nights — having that separate sitting area makes a difference when you want to spread out or catch up on work. The beds are comfortable (that Holiday Inn standard), and the windows give you decent city views depending on which floor you’re on. Nothing groundbreaking, but everything works as it should.

Breakfast & Dining

The breakfast situation is pretty solid — they do both continental and American options, which covers most people’s preferences. I went with the American breakfast a couple times and it hit the spot, though don’t expect anything too fancy. The continental spread has the usual suspects but everything was fresh when I grabbed it around 8 AM. You know what’s nice? The restaurant area doesn’t feel cramped like some downtown hotels where they’re clearly trying to maximize every square foot.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this is a straightforward property that delivers exactly what most people need when they’re exploring Vancouver. The parking availability is actually a big deal if you’re driving — finding affordable parking downtown can be a nightmare otherwise. What really stands out is the consistency — everything from the Wi-Fi to the housekeeping just works without any drama. For families or couples who want to be in the heart of things without paying premium hotel prices, it’s honestly a smart choice. The location score speaks for itself, and after staying here, I totally get why people keep coming back.
