13 Best Gay-Friendly Hotels in Vancouver
The downtown Vancouver area is perched on a peninsula jutting into English Bay. This compact zone spans only 3.7 square kilometers, and all of our top picks, including some fantastic gay-friendly hotel options, are nestled within this district. The vibrant Davie Village gayborhood is a key highlight of downtown.
Spa treatments are big business in Vancouver, and the luxury hotels have gone all out to make their spas the ones to visit. If you’re in the mood for some pampering, Vancouver has you covered.
Swimming pools are standard in most luxury and 4-star hotels, with only a few exceptions. Due to the climate—it can drop to 0°C (32°F) in winter—they’re heated and indoor, allowing year-round use.
Vancouver hotels aren’t cheap; the average room rate is around $270. However, there’s the Cambie Hostel Gastown for budget travelers.
Vancouver doesn’t have any exclusively gay-owned and operated hotels like some of its sister cities in the US, but with the Davie Village gayborhood being in the downtown area, every hotel in Vancouver welcomes gay travelers with open arms.
Vancouver has one gayborhood, it’s known as Davie Village, and it’s three blocks on Davie Street between Burrard and Jervis Streets. Six venues in the strip offer entertainment for every gay man’s taste or quirk.
There are four gay-friendly hotel Vancouver options within a block of the gayborhood, including Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre, Sonder The Sunset, Residence Inn by Marriott Vancouver Downtown, and The Burrard. Sandman Suites Vancouver on Davie stands right on the main drag, perfectly positioning it within the vibrant heart of gay Vancouver. The rest of the hotels are just a quick, seven-minute cab ride away.
The downtown area, home to these gay hotel Vancouver options, is situated just south of the expansive Stanley Park, Vancouver’s most visited site. The park’s aquarium, the seawall, and Brockton Point Lighthouse are among the major tourist attractions.
Just south of downtown is Granville Island, a foodie’s paradise. Restaurants and markets, mostly seafood-inclined, can be found all over the island.
Most people wouldn’t consider Vancouver a ‘beach location,’ yet there are four: two on the downtown peninsula’s west coast and two on Stanley Park’s west coast.
