The Carmana Plaza offers 96 apartment-style rooms in the heart of downtown Vancouver. The upscale suites come with fully equipped kitchens, multiple bedrooms, tastefully furnished rooms, and free Wi-Fi. In many cases, they have stunning views of the mountains or the city through floor-to-ceiling windows. There is no on-site dining or bar, but the hotel's central downtown location means that there are lots of nearby options. Other features include a laundry room, larger meeting room with a small catering kitchen, and a fitness center. Secure parking is available for an additional charge. A downtown alternative with a more traditional hotel experience and full gourmet restaurant is the Shangri-La Hotel, Vancouver -- though rates are higher.
