Priceline Hotel: 4* Vancouver (Granville Entertainment District) The Westin Grand Vancouver

[Andretto]

I would appreciate some help bidding for a 4* hotel in downtown Vancouver.

Hotwire is offering some great rates for a 5* in west downtown (my guess is the Pan Pacific), but I think I could save some more with Priceline and get a better location downtown.

I will have to stay in Vancouver from 10/13 till 10/17 for work. I usually book my hotels via Priceline, but Hotwire offers a 5 star hotel in Vancouver West downtown for only $116 + taxes.

I was hoping somebody could tell me which hotel it might be. The ammenities listed are:

Indoor pool(s)

Fitness Center

Pool(s)

Restaurant(s)

Business Center

High-Speed Internet Access

Spa services

In-room accessibility

Wheelchair accessible

This rate is really great for a 5 star, it' recommended by 85% of Hotwire costumer reviews, but if possible, I'd like to know what are the hotels most likely to get within this parameters.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread.

Best guess for the HOTWIRE property would be the The Sutton Place Hotel Vancouver.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Let us know how you'd like to proceed OR how it goes and we'll take it from there.

My guess is Sutton Place. We are looking at the same hotel in November. I would love to know how it works out if you bid!

Good luck!

Yes, it looks like it might be the Sutton. I've read some negative posts about them having a bias against guests that book trough Hotwire, but with such a low price you can't really complain,can you?

Anyway, I think I will bid through PL for a 4 * hotel downtown to a max of $100, if I have no luck, will take the Hotwire offer (if it's still available). I'll let you know how it goes. Please let me know if you have any news or tips.

Good luck to you too!

Sorry for the super late reply. I've completely forgotten about this post.

I finally ended up getting The Westin Grand Vancouver for $113 per night.

Great Hotel & Experience. Thanks again!

Actually, I had to get to Vancouver one day earlier than expected so I booked one night at the Westin bidding via PL.(Granville Entertainment District)

The other 3 nights I booked via Hotwire at the Sutton a rate of $115/night plus taxes (total of $432.70 with travel insurance). It was located in the

"Vancouver Downtown Shopping and Entertainment District" area

The amenities showed were

Indoor pool(s)

Fitness Center

Pool(s)

Restaurant(s)

Business Center

High-Speed Internet Access

Spa Services

In-room accessibility

Wheelchair accessible

I want to say that the Sutton was excellent, great rooms and service. They even sent a plate with strawberries covered in chocolate for my birthday.

Cheers, Andretto
