Wonderful weekend!
Pros:

We had a fantastic stay. We were there for our wedding weekend and the staff were so thoughtful! We also loved that it was dog friendly! We had a great view, everything was nice and clean. It was easy to get to our wedding venues from the hotel, and we would definitely stay there again!

Cons:

Not that we could change this, but there were screaming children next door, with the adjoining room door, the screams at 6:30am sounded like they were in the room. Otherwise, perfect stay.

Super …. Mais pas tous les jours !
Cons:

Le petit déjeuner le week-end est super
Quel déception ce lundi matin de voir que nous n’avons plus le droit à des œufs, des omelettes ou des pancakes.
Je trouve que pour cette catégorie d hôtel c est un carton rouge.

Relaxed city stay by the waterfront
Pros:

I love the vacation feel of this 'city' hotel. Everyone relaxing at the outdoor pool and views of the waterfront. It's a great base for Stanley Park or downtown. A safe, pleasant area.

Cons:

Liked everything

I wouldn't stay again
Pros:

Nothing particularly. Price very high. Room dull aspect had no good view. 3rd floor.

Cons:

Penny pinching hotel. For £300/night no milk provided on room for tea. Told to purchase from the kiosk - totally unacceptable. Bathroom had no separate shower - had to climb into bath tub. Room and bathroom looked rather tired.

Went down to swim at 7.20 am only to find it was closed for yoga. Si pool not available when we wanted it.

Staff on the reception on day of arrival 6 May most unhelpful when asked for milk. It was like I was asking for something extraordinary.

Relaxing, picturesque stay
Pros:

Ours was a stay that perfectly balanced wellness with a front-row seat to Vancouver’s natural beauty. Westin Bayshore is a gem.
The property sits right on the Coal Harbour Seawall, which is arguably the best "backyard" a hotel could have. Being able to step out the doors and immediately be on a path toward Stanley Park for a morning nature walk was the highlight of the stay. The views of the harbor and the mountains are restorative, making it easy to maintain a healthy, active routine even while traveling.
The only glitch was that we weren’t allowed to use the pool after our checkout on the same day even though I’m an elite Marriott member and used to late checkout.
The "wellness" focus of the Westin brand is very much alive here.
• H Tasting Lounge: A must-visit for a sophisticated evening. The atmosphere is vibrant yet relaxing—perfect for winding down after a day of exploring.
• H2 Kitchen & Bar: Great for a reliable, high-quality meal with plenty of options that don't feel like "heavy" hotel food.
• T & Co Café: Excellent for a quick, high-protein grab-and-go before heading out for the day.
We used a property credit to explore the dining onsite.
The hotel serves as an ideal base for local excursions. We spent a day on a whale-watching tour, and the convenience of returning to such a tranquil room made the adventure even better.
The Westin Bayshore is more than just a place to sleep; it’s a retreat. Whether you’re here for the fitness amenities, or simply the proximity to the water, it delivers a high-end, refreshing experience. I would return in a heartbeat for that Seawall access alone.
