Vancouver often tops
polls as one of the best cities to live in. One reason could be its pleasant,
temperate climate, which is generally warmer than other chilly Canadian cities. This coastal city has
some very lovely beaches, and is ringed by spectacular mountains, so you won’t
have to go far to soak in some sun, or enjoy the greenery. There is a large
Chinatown, as well as a Little Italy, the Punjabi Market, and even Greektown –
all of them a result of the city’s large immigrant population. So eat your
heart out in a tiny family-run restaurant, or head out for some fine dining. If
you’re a shopaholic, then you’re in the right city. From high-end labels to
hole-in-the-wall vintage shops, it’s all here!
See
Stanley Park – This sprawling
park on the tip of downtown Vancouver is a firm favourite with locals and
tourists alike, and for good reason. The park features some very lovely
beaches, and the lakes are great spots to cool off in during hot summers. Vancouver
Aquarium, the largest aquarium in Canada, is located within the park, and is
filled with over 70 000 animals. You can also simply walk through the park and
enjoy its scenic views and large variety of plants, some of them planted over
100 years ago.
Stay
L’Hermitage Hotel –
Downtown Vancouver is right outside your doorstep at this luxurious hotel. L’Hermitage
offers guests a choice of studio rooms and suites, as well as large ‘home’
style rooms, with fully equipped kitchens and living rooms. Some rooms also
feature a fireplace, to warm up those chilly Canadian nights, or a balcony so
you can take in the city’s skyline. Dog lovers will be delighted to learn the
hotel has a canine resident named ‘Hippo’ who hangs out in the lobby. L’Hermitage
also provides pet-friendly services, such doggie bowls with food and water, and
a dog-walker to take you beloved canine out for a jaunt. Room rates start from
around £150.
Eat
Bluewater
Cafe – This elegant dining room serves up the best of Vancouver’s underwater
bounty. There is an a la carte menu,
as well as a raw bar, and tanks teeming with live crustaceans, all waiting to
be plucked out and cooked. There are some beef and pork dishes, but the main
event is undoubtedly the seafood. If you want to enjoy them in their purest
form, choose from the short but enticing ‘Seafood on Ice’ menu. Depending on
your choice, you get one to three platters packed full of juicy oysters, prawns,
mussels, lobsters and crab.
