False Creek runs from English Bay up to the Science Center. There's now a walking and bike path that runs completely around False Creek - from English Bay, past Yaletown, around the Science Center, and up to Granville Island and beyond.

False Creek used to be Vancouver's industrial inner harbour. One-hundred years later, it has been retrofit and renovated and gentrified. Some of the architecture preserves that history. What remains now is a peaceful places where sky and sea meet. Ringed with places for coffee, places to sit and look at the sea and sky change as big and small boats move in and out of the inner harbour.

Top Central Vancouver Hotel Reviews

Moda Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff and room were both amazing! We had an incredibly early flight and not only did they hold our luggage way before check-in, they got the room ready ASAP so we were able to have a nap in the morning and were rejuvinated for the day. It was above and beyond our expectations."

The Sutton Place Hotel Vancouver

10/10 Excellent

"We were staying in Vancouver for one night and the staff accommodated an early check in and had us in a room in minutes. This was the most beautiful hotel I’ve ever stepped foot in and all the staff were so incredibly kind and attentive. The room was amazing and had the most incredible view of the city. It was also the quietest hotel room we’ve ever stayed in, absolutely no noise pollution from any surrounding room or the halls. We will absolutely be back on our next trip!"
