Why stay in a serviced apartment in Vancouver?

Vancouver attracts business travellers and corporate relocations year-round due to its thriving economy, striking natural beauty, and vibrant cultural atmosphere. Combining the luxuries and ease of hotel stays, with the added inclusion of space, privacy and flexibility, serviced apartments are the stand-out choice for business travellers enjoying both long and short-term corporate trips away. When staying in one of our serviced apartments in Vancouver, you will have access to the following benefits:

  • Space: Unlike a hotel room, where you're confined to a single space, a serviced apartment gives you room to breathe. Separate living and sleeping areas mean you can work productively from your dining table or sofa during the day, then properly switch off in the evening.
  • On-site amenities: Serviced apartments in Vancouver come equipped with everything you need for comfortable, independent living. A fully fitted kitchen with modern appliances means you can prepare meals to suit your schedule and dietary preferences. At the same time, in-unit laundry facilities save you time and the hassle of finding a laundrette. Many properties also offer additional amenities such as fitness centres, secure parking, and meeting rooms. You'll have all the conveniences of home, plus the flexibility to live on your own terms throughout your stay.
  • Financial benefits: The longer you stay, the more you save with a serviced apartment. Nightly rates are typically lower than comparable hotel accommodation, especially for extended bookings, and you'll avoid the added costs that quickly mount up in hotels.

What do I need to know about staying in Vancouver?

Whether it's your first visit to Vancouver or you’re on a returning business trip, knowing how to navigate the city, what to expect from the weather, and where to find what you need will make all the difference to your experience.

Transport in Vancouver

Vancouver’s public transport system, TransLink, makes getting around the city straightforward for business travellers. The network connects buses, the SkyTrain (a rapid transit system), and the SeaBus (a passenger ferry across the harbour), covering downtown, surrounding neighbourhoods, and reaching out to the airport and suburbs. Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is well-connected to the city centre. The journey takes approximately 25 minutes if travelling via the SkyTrain network, making it one of the quickest and most cost-effective ways to reach your apartment after landing.

Weather in Vancouver

With temperatures falling below freezing for 46 days of the year, it is critical to do your research before travelling to learn what climate you will be experiencing during your stay. Note that the city also has a reputation for wet weather, especially during winter months. Sunny temperatures are prominent in the summer months, especially July and August, with average temperatures reaching a warm 22 degrees.

Cuisine in Vancouver

The city of Vancouver is incredibly diverse, and the food offerings reflect this as different cultures are incorporated and influence many of the restaurants there. With cuisines available such as Peruvian, Japanese, Belgian and Middle Eastern, there is so much variety for everyone to enjoy. Additionally, many of these different cuisines incorporate their fellow cultures, creating new and vibrant flavours, unique to Vancouver.

Things to do in Vancouver

When you do find time away from work, Vancouver offers plenty to help you unwind. The city's location between mountains and ocean means outdoor activities are never far. The Seawall, a scenic waterfront path around Stanley Park, is perfect for a morning run or evening stroll to clear your head. Granville Island's public market is worth visiting for fresh food and local crafts, and neighbourhoods such as Gastown offer the historic Steam Clock and Victorian architecture alongside excellent restaurants, independent shops, and a thriving café culture perfect for informal client meetings or weekend exploration.

Exploring the vastly diverse aspects of Vancouver is essential on your business trip to truly embrace the varying cultures available. China Town is home to a range of funky shops, unique markets and the most delicious Dim Sum restaurants around. When exploring China Town, make sure you visit the Chinese gardens, Dr. Sun Yat Sen, which is exquisite in construction and tranquil in surroundings.

If you’re interested in some water sports to clear your head from working life, Deep Cove is the perfect place to enjoy the water and take in the jaw-dropping surroundings of Vancouver; not to mention it’s the safest spot to kayak in Canada. We recommend paddling up and exploring the picturesque Indian Arm, you may even catch sight of some of the creatures living in the forests around you.
