My husband and I just returned from a trip to Vancouver, British Columbia and had the good fortune to stay at The English Bay Inn. We had read about the Inn in travel books and web sites. Nothing prepared us for the wonderful accommodations which awaited us, or the beautiful, friendly city of Vancouver. The English Bay Inn is a lovely Inn situated in the best area of Vancouver, the West End. It is walking distance to Stanley Park, and the harbor, as well as many of the lovely beaches surrounding the city. We rented bikes for the day and rode throughout the park and over to Granville Island. The next day we rode a public bus to Yalesville and explored the historic areas of Yalesville and Gastown, walking back to the Inn via Canada Place and the harbor. The Inn's owner, Bobin, made our stay truly wonderful! His hospitality and incredible scones are well worth the trip. We had a lovely room overlooking a small garden. It was a quiet retreat after a busy day of sight seeing. I highly reccomend a visit to Vancouver and a stay at the English Bay Inn.
