Review: The Westin Bayshore Vancouver

The Westin Bayshore Vancouver hotel is conveniently located near Stanley Park and the Marina.

It is a convention-oriented complex, with many meeting rooms. However, it is nice for a stay of one or more nights as tourists.

It was a Category 6 hotel in Marriott Bonvoy at the time of my visit (during COVID-19), so I preferred to pay for my stay rather than use points.

Using my Marriott BonvoyMD American ExpressMD* Card, this allowed me to earn 5 points per dollar on the cost of my overnight stay (about $130).

Loan bikes are parked next to the valet:

  • Complimentary for the 2 first hours
  • $20 per additional hour (!!)

After a quick chat with the front desk, I head to the suite in which I was upgraded thanks to my Titanium status(and a bit of my negotiating skills).

No more than two people are allowed in the elevator. Although the other elevator was down, there was no wait (reflecting the hotel’s low occupancy during COVID-19).

The Westin Bayshore Vancouver - Gym and Pool

In this time of pandemic COVID-19, it is necessary to book a one-hour time slot to access the pool and gym of The Westin Bayshore Vancouver (with a badge to pick up at the reception).

There too, given the low occupancy level, no wait in going swimming! The pool is well heated, which is nice after jogging at Stanley Park! An outdoor swimming pool is also available during summer.

The Westin Bayshore Vancouver - Breakfast

Staying during COVID-19, I knew that the experience would not be complete, not enjoying a real breakfast.

For Platinum and Titanium Members, The Westin Bayshore Vancouver provides a breakfast credit at the T&Co coffee shop.

Breakfast is available from 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., and a wide selection of foods is available. You can order and wait in a space dedicated to this purpose. The hotel did things right in these unusual times.
