Priceline Hotel: Vancouver - Hotel with a great city view

[DavaoDude]

I want a downtown Vancouver hotel with a great view of the city from my room. Any tips for getting such a room via Priceline or Hotwire?

It seems like a 5* bid on priceline (Downtown) or 5* choice on hotwire (Vancouver Downtown - Coal Harbour - Stanley Park area) would most likely get me the Pan Pacific which is supposed to have rooms with a great view.

It would be nice to spend less for a 4*, but then it seems I run the risk of a hotel with no such great views.

Any advice for those who know the downtown Vancouver hotels?

Welcome to BetterBidding!

I can't speak for a specific hotel but most of the times will the opaque guests get "standard" rooms. The rooms with the good views are the more expensive ones.

And it's really up the clerk when you check-in what kind of room you'll get. You might get a great view room or you can get a room that face the parking lot and you have to pay for an upgrade to get a better view (if the hotel got availability).

Let us know how we can help you further with your stay.
