Gayle and I spent 5 nights at this WorldMark through the generosity of her Sister (and her husband) who are members. Our Condo was well located in Downtown Vancouver, and easily walkable to Stanley Park, the West End, Gas Town, and places in-between. The Condo also had a nice view of the skyline and a nice living room to relax and take it all in. The unit was also clean and well appointed. There were a few "negatives": 1. The pool and gym require a walk over to the nearby Sheraton. We also found that with Uber, it's best to go over to Sheraton for pickup and drop off as the algorithm can't seem to comprehend 1080 Hornby Street. 2. Even with AC within this hot Vancouver week, the Condo was stuffy and required multiple fans to help with overall comfort. 3. This Condo had no balcony or other outdoor hangout option, other than finding a local park. read more

We arrived and didn't know where to access the main door. It's just a few steps to the right of the main doors and there are a few steps to drag our suitcase inside. It was a quick check in and we were early but a room was ready. There are a few snacks for purchase, water refill, and tourist brochures. We headed down the ramp and towards the two elevators. For all the floors in the buildings, the elevators were pretty quick. We made our way to the 23rd floor to our apartment style hotel that we would be staying at for the next 5 nights. We entered and there was a washer and dryer, and a large closet that had the broom and a fan. I think the safe was also in the closet. The kitchen space was great to have a full sized fridge, stove, coffee maker, and lots of pots and pans and utensils. This was very convenient as we went to get groceries for breakfast every day. The seating area had a tv, and counter place for when we ate. It wasn't big and there was no dining table but it was sufficient. There was also a temperature control in this space. Both bedrooms were spacious with one having large windows with great views of downtown. The other room had a small window. There were 2 bathrooms, and one that was in the area of the smaller bedroom. The other bathroom was spacious. There's a parkade and it's secure requiring the room key to enter and exit, and also enter the elevator. We didn't have an issue to find a parking space during our stay. During our stay, they were were accommodating when we requested more coffee, paper towels, and laundry pods. The only complaints I have were that it could get noisy from all the sirens in the night, and that our bedroom could get cold at night. Otherwise, everything about this place was great! There's a games room with a ping pong table, pool table, and many books. The location was also great and convenient to be downtown. read more

We stayed at the WorldMark Vancouver in late February 2020 and it was the last time we have stayed anywhere due to the Covid-19 virus. We enjoyed our stay and from staying at other WorldMark properties in the past we knew it would be fine. Part of the property is condos and part is a hotel. It's a good central location and close to restaurants, food markets, and museums. The entrance is very low key and we almost missed it, but it serves its purpose. The room was very nice, but small. We stayed for 2 days and it was fine. It would have been too small for 2 weeks though. We did use the kitchen one night and it was fine. We will stay here again in the future. read more

The staff was very respectful and helpful. Received call from Nan prior to my arrival to address any concerns I may have had. Checkin was completed in less than 5 minutes. Katarina and Stevie provided daily information involving attractions and transportation issues. Hotel's location is perfect. Public transportation is near hotel. Most tourist attractions are within walking distance. Numerous eating establishments nearby. Room was clean and all essential amenities were provided. Great stay! Will definitely reserve again. read more

rooms are nice, but don't bother purchasing wifi access through their provided Comcast Business. stayed there twice now, and paid for wifi, but it did not work at all either time. Worldmark will not address the issue, and will only tell you to contact Comcast Business and ask for a refund. This happened both times. but for all the people complaining about the sirens all night long...it's because the building is right across the street from a large hospital. plus, you're in a major metropolitan city, you can't expect complete peace and quiet. read more

The resort is very nice, clean and the bed is very comfortable. A room with a view. There is a parking garage at this place, but for the pool, Jacuzzi and gym, you have to go across to the Sheraton. They will assign a key for daily uses of the pool, jacuzzi and gym. This place is within walking distance to some restaurants, coffee shops and Boba tea shops. I'm going to walk to the newly opened Hello Kitty Cafe on Robson. read more

Very accessible to the city. Lovely rooms. PLEASE get your other elevator fixed. There's only one for 32 floors making it a huge hassle to go anywhere. read more

2nd time staying there, even better than the first! I returned for the yearly fireworks festival. This time my friend & I researched activities & parks. The timeshare is so well located, near everything, great parking, clean & well kept. Nice to have 2 bathrooms & a washer/dryer in unit...I went home with clean clothes. And the recycling in the building is impressive, compost, plastic, glass & regular garbage. read more

What a great view and location. We took a five minute taxi ride from the cruise ship terminal, and were able to leave our bags, walk around town, find some free Wifi at a nearby coffee shop, and walk to the art museum until check in time at 3 pm. Our well stocked, modern, clean condo unit on the 20th floor was major overkill for a one night stay, but what the heck. We had views over downtown Vancouver in two directions, a dining area and a fully equipped kitchen, a living room with fireplace and television, plus a TV in the bedroom. The tiny check-in lobby has binders full of DVDs to borrow for free, although there is a nice movie theater two blocks away as well as several nice restaurants and fun bars nearby. We walked everywhere at night, no worries. I would definitely stay here again. read more

We were heading to Vancouver, and our friend offered to let us use her time share condo days to stay at the WorldMark The Canadian. What a treat! It is centrally located in downtown Vancouver, in easy walking distance to restaurants, theaters, museums and the glitzy shopping district. The unit Er stayed in has 2 bedrooms, kitchen and living room. The kitchen is fully stocked, and there is a cozy breakfast nook off of it with great views of the district. Fireplace, TV's with CD players in the living room and master bedroom. Comfortable furnishings throughout. The staff are friendly and the front desk has a large selections of DVD available to rent. This would be a great place for a family on a budget. You wouldn't have to eat out every meal. read more

Great unit, probably one of the most elegant WM in the chain. Great location in the city as it's very central to everything. Fabulous views from the units. 19th to 26th floor of a 31 floor high rise. Full granite kitchen, washer dryer, gym and indoor pool. Parking is free and secured underground. The only negative is the street noise. Even though you're on the 19th or 26th floor with the windows open you will hear heavy traffic, car horns and sirens going to the hospital across the street. Food: Check out Samurai Japanese rest for Sushi, Stepho's Souvlaki for Greek, Bistro 101 (they have discount cards in the lobby for B 101), and Milltown bar and grill. You can get from the airport to downtown vancouver by taking the skytrain from airport parking lot for $2, once you get to the city you can walk 5 blocks or jump a taxi. Update 8/2017. Worldmark is still great!! They added portable a/c units in the living room to take the edge off the warmer days. DVD player does not play blue-ray. They skytrain from the airport is now $9.75 but $4.75 to get there. Linh cafe is amazing for lunch, but check for days open. read more

We loved this place we stayed for 7 nights. View...wow!!!Great location but be prepared that being in downtown..it gets noisy even when staying on 23rd floor of a 32 floor building. We heard police and ambulance sirens every night. IGA market is just 10 min walk away. Money exchange is about 15 min walk. Many small eateries around within steps of the building including a museum. Being a worldmark owner from the USA, the staff were awesome. Top notch! Our unit was cold and we asked for extra blankets and the maintenace guy delivered within minutes. In addition, he spent time to show us how to turn the heaters on and also the fireplace. The only complaint I had was the long wait for the elevators but WM had warned us ahead of time as they were being remodeled. When I checked out and headed to airport, I accidently left the cupholder for the carseat in the unit. I called back and told them. Drove back to condo within 15 min and Tyler had gone up to the unit to retrieve it. Wondering if he ran up the stairs as wait for elevators took at least that much time. So appreciated !! Would definitely recc this place. read more

WorldMark Vancouver - The Canadian - View from our unit. - Resorts Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I love this Resort. The rooms are small but the Resort is in a PRIME location and the view is spectacular. To the other reviewers, read the occupancy guidelines. The One Bedroom states that it is compact and only sleeps two. The Two Bedroom also says compact and sleeps four. You are not going to be spending much time in your room and the PRIME location is worth the smaller rooms. Vancouver is such a cool city and you are staying in the heart of it. I highly recommend buying an Attractions pass www.seevancouvercard.com. This is the one city I have found this pass to be most useful. Vancouver is a compact city and has an excellent Public Transportation system. You do not want or need a car here. Even if you are going out of the city you should be able to get around without a car using their system. The Resort is more like staying in a high rise condo. There is a full kitchen and Laundry in your unit. There is a grocery nearby. The staff is quite helpful and will be able to assist you in area information. This is not really a kid friendly location and to be honest, younger kids will not get much out of a trip to Vancouver. It is a lovely city with a heart of gold. The people are very friendly and welcoming and tolerant. Americans should have no problems navigating the city. I can't wait to get back. read more

My brother and I stayed here for a couple nights during the Olympics in a 1-bedroom unit. The view and the cleanliness of the room was incredible! The staff was very friendly and helpful. The unit was a little small, but had all the standard amenities of a Worldmark unit, except one... The couch was only a couch, not a sofa bed like most resorts. This might not seem like such a big deal unless you're traveling with your brother and aren't big bed sharers. He got the couch (cause I'm the owner), and thankfully he only had to rock the couch for 2 nights. Other than that, the fireplace controls were strange (2 switches and a dial to control), but the view, the proximity, and the unit were great! read more

i was really excited to see what this place looked like on the inside since i saw the exterior pictures on the website (but didn't dig further to look for interior shots). this timeshare is smaller than the ones we're used to in the US, but it's highrise living, so i guess it's to be expected. pretty standard amenities, although there isn't a sofa bed. if you're going to put four people in here, there will be two people per bed. :\ (not good news for me and my brother...i think i'll be sleeping on the couch. gah.) there's underground parking but the spaces are very cramped, so be careful if you have a large car! location-wise, it's pretty central. you can walk to many attractions, although it could be quite a long walk. they only give out as many parking permits as there are spaces, so you should have a spot left downstairs if you take your car instead of going by foot. internet is available, but no wifi. you have to go downstairs to the lobby and check out a router that plugs into the power outlet, giving you a wired connection (one cable only). as of this writing, it's $4.95/day, $15.95 for 10 days, $49.95 for one year. today, one of the elevators (out of two) is stuck on the 25th floor (apparently a lady got trapped in there earlier today, but they got her out quickly) and they're getting it repaired. i hope it's soon because at times the waits were over 10 minutes just to use the elevator. worse when many people are moving in because the luggage carts take up the place of three people. read more

WorldMark Vancouver - The Canadian - Resorts Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I've stayed at quite a few Worldmark locations, and no matter where I am, I feel like I'm home. They're all decorated in the same style and resemble each other, so when you've stayed at any Worldmark a few times, all the locations begin to feel like home away from home. I love Worldmark because of the kitchens and washer and dryers in the units. Everything is upscale and clean. Most locations offer a free movie rental. This particular location allows guests usage of the fitness center at the Sheraton across the street. Its downtown location is also perfect -- we walked to most of our destinations. There is garage parking and paid wifi. Happy vacationing! read more

The entrance to the actual check-in is a bit tough to find but once you do the employees were knowledgable and efficient in their work. However they charge for the internet. The WorldMark in Victoria did not, but gave us a free code. Also there is no business center. This would be a good addition, dear management. Diss the pool table and bring in a couple of Dell computers would be nicer. The view was cool, looking over the Vancouver urban landscape from our 20th floor apartment. Tip: Open the door under the stove to get your frying pan! Overall recommended. read more

Centrally located to all locations. Beautiful and complete accommodations. Staff very professional and friendly.

A great location in the heart of Vancouver. A short walk to all of the restaurants on Robson street or to take the ferry to the marketplace. A couple blocks gets you to Davie street. Stayed in a 2 bedroom unit and it was quite clean. Bedrooms tend to be on the smaller side, but it is an urban high-rise. The only real downside was that the kitchen table is a bit ridiculous in its placement and size. The unit has permanent residents and Worldmark has several floors, so you get a blue key and a red key in order to gain access to various security doors. Thankfully, there is no sales office so you don't have to endure a back and forth about why you don't want to go to another presentation. Staff at the front desk are extremely friendly and helpful in helping you navigate around the city. The check-in is to the side of the main building entrance. If you brought a car, there is parking available, but residents will try and tail you into the garage as the door opens even though there is a sign that says not to. read more

Environment: great! The room was small but comfortable. NO AC, so it gets hot in the summer Service: Desk staff was cool Appearance: great views and well maintained! Overall: great location in the heart of downtown with free parking!! The view from the room was great and the staff was nice! I'll be back! read more

Stayed for two weeks between 21st Jan - 16th Feb. One of the best locations you could hope for. Very close to everything. We stayed for two weeks in two different apartments in the building. 2 Bed compact and 2 Bed with a small dining area. Both were immaculate and well beyond our expectations. Amazing views in both. The kitchen was just big enough and perfect for cooking when you felt like staying in. Always had a great night sleep in the comfortable beds, plenty of closet space for suitcases etc. & having a washer and dryer came in so handy. Ladies at the front desk were so lovely and friendly too - always helping us with absolutely anything we needed. Planning for a another trip here in 2016! read more

Could not ask for a more convenient location, this is literally almost dead center of downtown. Near tons of restaurants, coffee, shopping, things to do. A lot of things are open very late. Although I hear this is one of the smaller Worldmark 1-bedroom suites, the size was good enough to suit my husband and I. The bed (which seemed like it couldn't be bigger than queen although I think it was supposed to be king) was too small, but comfortable enough apart from feeling too small to share. More of a younger crowd than usual here. Cons - A little tricky to locate where the entrance was, having arrived after dark. Weak toilet did clog up during our stay with normal activity and had to plunge a lot to clear. A LOT of traffic and construction noise - bring your earplugs! Although I did feel a lot safer than downtown San Francisco and the hobos don't harass you as directly, the neighborhood does get significantly more sketchy after dark, most markedly after 9 pm. Davie and Granville are especially to be avoided late night, I would say. One night on the way to grab dinner, a obviously off his meds homeless man ran right near us into moving traffic hitting things and screaming. So keep your eyes open and your excess valuables in your room. Restaurant recommendations - Le Crocodile, The Mexican, Glowbal Grill, Banana Leaf, La Brasserie. read more

This is a beautiful property. You wouldn't really know it, from the outside. You're dropped off on a one way street, and barely notice the Worldmark Sign. The front staff was super friendly and very welcoming. Our room wasn't ready, but that was okay. We knew we were early (about 11:00am). So, on their recommendation, we walked to "Earl's Test Kitchen" for a delicious lunch. After lunch, our room was ready. We were on the 21st floor. When I opened the door, I thought "oooh" and "ahhhhhhh". We had a bird's eye view of downtown Vancouver. The kitchen was super cute-- bigger than I expected. The "dining nook" was beyond cute. It was tucked in the corner with floor to ceiling windows. I felt like we were in a glass cage, watching people and traffic below. Just loved the view! Our bedroom was comfortable, though no dressers. There were shelves in the closet, though, and plenty of room. Again, floor to ceiling windows. I was nervous about voyeurs, so I made sure to close the blinds anytime one of us had to walk around in our birthday suits and such. It was nice to look outside, why laying in bed. So much to see! (But, I was covered up and dressed at the time-- LOL!) We had a full-sized washer and a small dryer-- and I love that convenience with Worldmark. The bathroom is a little small, but very clean, with shelving and a built-in night light. The location is really nice, and we felt safe walking around. We found a great Japanese restaurant, there are Starbucks on just about every block. We never did use the health club privileges at the Sheraton (across the street). I'm sure it was nice, but I missed not being able to slip into my bathing suit and robe and just walk out to a hot tub. But, this is City Life, and that's how it is.... I have nothing but great things to say about the front office staff. Every single person was always polite and very helpful. We felt very welcome, here, and really enjoyed our stay at this property. We got lucky with super warm weather, and the floor fans that were provided kept our home away from home very cool and comfortable. It's nice to find that WM has upgraded their properties to have flat screen TV's (we stayed at some, a few years ago, that didn't have that.) I could never be an urban dweller, but it was a fun experience to "live" in a place so high up with lots of windows and light. At night, it was even more spectacular. Terrific property that exceeded my expectations! read more

Amazing hotel, service, and room view. Bit of a struggle trying to get out of the parking garage (separate towers awkwardly connect, told to go to different gate in car to exit as guest,swipe card didn't work at gate 1 and 2...couldn't find gate 3) but other than that, amazing experience. Love the hotel and will be back out next stay in Vancouver. Still amazing hotel and service. read more

Stayed a couple of days here to extend our trip to Vancouver. What really makes a residence is the staff and the staff here were super friendly, helping us find things to do, offering to buy us discounted tickets and giving directions to notable eateries. Plus the view from our room was spectacular. read more

Spectacular views (Woldmark floors are 19-26) and clean/modern accommodations! The only thing lacking in our unit is a dining area. The staff have been helpful and friendly, as we're used to with Worldmark. There's no sales office here so no sales pitch to avoid. Vancouver is a dynamic city and the location of the Canadian is perfect for exploring in many directions, with or without a car. read more

Stayed there from 8/19-26/2-16. Had a one bedroom condo, 20th floor. Very spacious and well decorated. Bring your binoculars. Amazing views from room 2006. Kitchen, dining room, living room, bath and bedroom with queen bed. Lots of storage space, including stacked washer and dryer. No tidy service, but if you call, they will bring you new linens. No toiletries in the room, so bring your own shampoo and conditioner. The Canadian, as well as most of Vancouver, is very environmentally conscious. They recycle most everything-including any food waste. We spent the week there and had very little garbage-mainly plastic bags. You just put your recycling containers out in the morning and they are quickly picked up. The rooms can get very warm, but there is a standing a/c unit in the living room and a strong fan in the bedroom. We discovered on our last night, that if you turn the a/c unit towards the fireplace, the air circulates just fine. Just be sure to turn on the air and close the blinds before you leave, if it's going to be a warm day. Very well located and most places are within walking distance. There is a IGA grocery store just three blocks away, which is quite walkable. The IGA is a great store, with lots of delicious items, already prepared. Great fruit & veggie selection, as well as fresh flowers and a well stocked meat department upstairs. There is a parking garage nearby the store, but it was a quick and easy walk there. read more

We are long-time Worldmark members. We were tired. My husband has Parkinsons and I have a knee injury. Our ice maker wasn't working, so we called the front desk for help. She advised us to buy our own ice. When we asked for her to provide a better solution, she told us that they were sold out, she was the only one on duty and would get us ice from another suite when she had time. No ice, no repair. When we tried to reach her again, our call went directly into voicemail. Rooms should work. read more

We really like this place. The location is fabulous, the staff wonderful, and the rooms are exactly as described. I think the dining chairs and sofas are attractive but uncomfortable, other than this nit picky item, we'll be back again and again! read more

Got to spend two nights here as a sort of favour for an auto incident. Perhaps I gave it a four cause it was free for us. And its not like we get to go on many free trips. The condo was definitely..small. But hey, you're in the middle of a big city! You shouldnt be spending all your time in the room. As for the condo, the kitchen was very clean and the appliances were new (but we didnt use them), the living room was alright, the furniture was uncomfortable, but the tv was nice. Bedrooms and bathrooms were clean. Overall, we had a great time. We had a view of some of the big buildings which was neat, but not the downtown core. We never used the pool/spa facilities, but, if you want to, you gotta go to the Sheraton across the street. Probably a little annoying. The hotel is a little ways from the heart of the city (Gastown, Stadiums, etc.), but its not a bad walk. The city is beautiful. I'd definitely stay here again. read more
