The Coast Coal Harbor Hotel is where I stayed for session 2 of the iTech Summit in Vancouver, BC. Perhaps I'm biased because of how much I fell in love with Vancouver - or maybe the hotel was really just that nice. I have some picture, and you can check out the website and make your own assumption.
This picture above isn't an actual picture of my hotel room - but it is the view I had for my next three days in Vancouver. The room was beautiful, and I was lucky enough to have a corner room to add to the luxury. This room easily could have slept 8 comfortably. The furniture was very modern (unlike hotel review 1 below, where everything was old fashioned) so it was a nice change of atmosphere. I took this following picture from the website, but it is a very good example of my exact room.
This hotel was in a great spot in the city, too. It was right down the street from the Vancouver Convention Center, where the iTech Summit was being held. It was a few blocks away from the main shopping streets of Vancouver, a few blocks from a bunch of great restaurants, and a nice walk to the ocean and the beach. Seeing it was my first time traveling to the West Coast, this was a priority on my list.
The restaurant inside the hotel was great, too. I only had breakfast there, but the food had some great presentations to it, and actually tasted good (I've found that a lot of places that put effort into the presentation sometimes lack in actual taste) so that was an added bonus.
The only complaint I have of this hotel is the wake-up call I received the first morning I was there...that I didn't schedule. Seems like they didn't erase it from the last person that stayed in the room, and I got a 6am wake-up call instead of an 8am...the front desk was extremely apologetic and took care of it, but it was a little bit of a downer. Other than that - I would stay at this hotel again given the chance.
Because I loved Vancouver so much, here are some photos to leave you with.
