Looking for a convenient Vancouver airport hotel? Need a location close to YVR (Vancouver International Airport), but also near downtown Vancouver? The Westin Wall Centre in Richmond, BC has sleek guest rooms, a free shuttle to the airport, a gorgeous fitness area and pool, and is within walking distance to the Canada Line, rapid transit from Richmond to downtown Vancouver in less than 26 minutes.
Vancouver Airport Hotel: Free Shuttle
From the arrivals and departures terminals at YVR, the Westin Wall Centre hotel is four kilometres away. This area is connected by a free shuttle operated by the hotel, running every half an hour to the airport from 4:00 am until 11:45 am. After that, it runs by request. From the airport, it starts at 4:15 am and departs every 20 minutes until after midnight.
Hotel Guest Rooms
Fresh, modern guest rooms are the name of the game at the Westin Wall Centre. Clean lines, natural colour tones and floor-to-ceiling windows make for bright stays. The windows actually open, allowing air to circulate, or air conditioning can be turned on for those hot days.
Unfortunately, wireless internet access isn’t free ($9.95 CDN per day), but the guest rooms come with all the other little things that are expected of a Westin hotel: iron and ironing board, bathrobes, flat screen TVs, bottled water, free newspapers on weekdays, and a desk.
Hotel Restaurant: The Apron
A small but pleasant hotel restaurant is located right beside the lobby. Called The Apron, they serve Pacific Northwest cuisine in a relaxed environment. The food is partially locally soured and a lounge is open for the later hours of the evening. In the morning, there are special SuperFoodsRxTM breakfasts to kick start the day.
Business Travel and Weddings
The Westin has great meeting spaces for business travellers. In fact, there is over 8,500 square feet of space to use in many different formations. The main ballroom itself is 4,700 square feet, and nearby are six breakout rooms, all with floor-to-ceiling windows.
Various menus are available, from strictly catering for business meetings to elaborate wedding receptions. From East Indian and Filipino cuisine to traditional menus of canapés and Pacific Northwest cuisine, everything can be customized for the event taking place.
Along with the meeting space are audio visual and production services, an internet connection, catering staff and a wedding coordinator, if needed.
