L'Hermitage Hotel

Vancouver


This discreet, well-located property is divided between longer-stay suites and guests just dropping in for the night. Either way, you'll find excellent service as well as a contemporary designer feel combined with artsy flourishes in the rooms, some of which offer kitchens. A library-style common lounge has a 'secret' garden terrace; there's also an adjoining Jacuzzi and a lap pool.

There's a well-equipped gym and a steam room here, and you're just steps from a tasty menu of local restaurants. Free loaner bikes are available if you fancy exploring the city's ever-expanding network of urban bicycle lanes. Overnight parking costs $35.
