Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Vancouver
The city of Vancouver is served by five distinct airports, each offering varying levels of accessibility to the city center. The Vancouver Harbour Flight Centre (CXH) is the nearest, located just 3.25 km away, offering a seamless walk or short taxi ride for those flying on domestic seaplane routes. Vancouver International Airport (YVR), 8.76 km away, serves as the primary international hub and is exceptionally well-connected via the efficient Canada Line SkyTrain, which provides the best balance of speed and cost. Abbotsford International Airport (YXX) is 60.59 km away and is best accessed via scheduled regional coaches like Ebus or pre-arranged private shuttles. Paine Field Airport (PAE) in the United States, 162.44 km away, is the most distant and requires cross-border bus or train travel, making it the least convenient for local transit. Sechelt Airport (YHS), 48.84 km away, relies on a combination of bus and ferry travel. For travelers, we recommend using YVR for international convenience or CXH for its unmatched proximity to the downtown core, while utilizing the integrated TransLink network for the most cost-effective and reliable arrival.

Fairview Vancouver|0.54km from city center
The hotel's location is excellent, close to Gulin Island and the city center, making it convenient for getting around. The front desk offers Chinese-speaking service, and our stay was very pleasant. We even extended our stay in the same room.FromUS$200

1. The location is super convenient! It's within walking distance to attractions like the Steam Clock and Chinatown, plus you can easily walk to Costco, T&T Supermarket, and the SkyTrain station. Taxis drop you right at the hotel entrance, and it's also very close to the Hertz downtown car rental location.
2. The suite has a double sofa bed, which was perfect for our family of four. The kitchen is well-equipped with basic facilities, so you can cook your own meals. The soundproofing in the room is excellent; it's very quiet.
3. The room rate included four complimentary breakfasts, which had a good variety and quality. Several floors in the hotel also provide drinking water, so you can fill your own bottles and save on buying water.
4. The staff are friendly and easy to communicate with. During our stay, we accidentally broke a bottle cap, and when we informed them, they said we didn't need to pay for it.
5. The hotel is also very close to the 2026 World Cup stadium, making it an excellent choice for tourists looking to explore the city center.FromUS$292

Among the many hotels in Vancouver, this one truly stood out. The location was fantastic, the price including breakfast was great, and the staff's kindness was simply amazing beyond words. Perhaps because it's a residence hotel, the room was incredibly spacious, and the kitchen facilities were well-equipped. It would be 100% satisfying for families or for longer stays. From now on, whenever I'm in Vancouver for business, I won't even consider other hotels; I'll book this one directly.FromUS$398

Good! In the city center, it is very convenient to go anywhere, the living is very comfortable, the front desk is very warm, go early, help us save the luggage, and take out the map, tell us where to go. well! I just don’t know if it’s because Ctrip’s house price is cheaper than other houses, and the room is facing the ice machine. It’s a bit noisy!FromUS$314

The staff were very patient and helpful. The manager let us to check in early in the morning when our flight arrived, which was appreciated.
The location is excellent and the room was spacious and cozy. It had a nice lake view. The included in-room breakfast had a variety of tasty options.
The Lobby floor restaurant ‘Honey Salt’ had high quality food at reasonable prices. We enjoyed dining there.
Overall, this was a great hotel. The staff went above and beyond to assist us. The rooms and location were very comfortable. Both the in-room breakfast and restaurant options were excellent values. I would highly recommend staying here.FromUS$491

Service was good, room was clean and well equipped, although short on coffee pods. The decor was dated as were all appliances and fixtures. Chairs and coach were all low (not good for a bad back), the toilet was also old and low. Best feature was close proximity to the Queen Elizabeth Theatre. Worst ”feature” was being told the room had a king bed, but no, just a queen. The isn't the only hotel that misrepresents their beds, what an annoying trend. The onsite restaurant pub is very average. Fries were greasy but my Buffalo Chicken Wrap and my wife's Bacon & Tomato Soup were ok. Service in the restaurant was excellent, very helpful waitress.FromUS$247

I stayed for 12 nights over Chinese New Year. It's a great central location, within walking distance to many attractions, and there are luxury shops right downstairs, which was very convenient. The room was spacious and well soundproofed, making for a very comfortable stay. I felt it was comparable to the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong, but with much better value for money than hotels there.FromUS$384

The location of the hotel is very core, next to the trump building. The hotel service is very good, with luggage, the front desk is very warm, and also introduced us to Vancouver's play places and food. After communicating with the front desk, I also changed the room with a bathtub. The overall evaluation was very good. The room was very clean. The only thing that is not very good is that the hotel can only be valet parking, 45 knives after tax, others are good.FromUS$571
