We recommend staying north of Hycroft Manor. A couple of areas/neighborhoods to consider are Kitsilano (AirBnBs), Granville Island (boutique hotels on the water), and Coal Harbour (the latter being our favourite and where we'll be staying). The area around Hycroft, Shaughnessy, is a nice area but limited in hotels. An AirBnB is always an option in downtown Vancouver as well. Vancouver is a very safe city, but we wouldn't recommend staying in or east of Gastown (though Gastown is beautiful - visit at the very least!)
One of our favourite date spots from living in Vancouver. Amazing food and great views in our favourite part of the city (Coal Harbour)! The bride recommends the Bellini and Lettuce Wraps
Our favourite sushi
World famous, speaks for itself. Walk or bike the seawall!
A Vancouver classic. Local markets and shops right on the water!
Great steakhouse - get the cheese toast!
Tyler worked for Panago when we first met! We still have pizza date nights every time we visit Vancouver. Try the Chicken Club
Famous park and bridge. Lynn Valley suspension bridge is a good free alternative!
