The Best Things To Do In Vancouver, British Columbia
Discover the best things to do in Vancouver just steps away from our downtown Vancouver hotel. Set on the corner of Hamilton and Robson, Rosedale Condominiums puts you within walking distance of BC Place, Rogers Arena, and the shops and restaurants of Robson Street, while Stanley Park, Granville Island, and the rest of this stunning waterfront city are just minutes away. Whether you're catching a game, exploring on foot, or planning a family getaway, we've got your guide to fun, free, romantic, and kid-friendly things to do in one of Canada's most beautiful cities!
Steps from BC Place and Rogers Arena
Searching for hotels close to BC Place usually means cramped rooms and a long walk back. Not here. Rosedale Condominiums sits just two blocks from the BC Place stadium gates, home of the BC Lions (CFL) and Vancouver Whitecaps FC (MLS), and within easy walking distance of Rogers Arena, home of the Vancouver Canucks. Whether it's a Lions kickoff, a Whitecaps match, a Canucks game, or a sold-out concert, skip the post-event traffic and walk back to a private suite instead of standing in an Uber line.
Things To Do On-Site At Rosedale Condominiums
You don't have to leave home base to start your Vancouver getaway. Rosedale Condominiums offers spacious one- and two-bedroom suites with full kitchens and separate living areas, so mornings can start with coffee at your own table before the day begins. Unwind after a day of exploring in the indoor pool, hot tub, and fitness center, or let the on-site restaurant handle dinner so you can put your feet up. With secure parking and a location built for walking, the resort itself is the easiest part of the trip.
Romantic Things To Do
For couples, Vancouver moves at exactly the right pace. Spend a slow afternoon browsing the artisan stalls and public market on Granville Island, book a sunset stroll through Stanley Park, or find a quiet patio table on Robson Street for a glass of wine as the city lights come up. Then walk it all back to a private suite instead of ending the night in a cab.
Things To Do With Kids
Vancouver is a natural playground for families, and you're closer to it than you'd think. Stanley Park, with its seawall, beaches, and the Vancouver Aquarium, is a short ride away, while Science World's interactive exhibits are perfect for a rainy afternoon. Back at the resort, full-kitchen suites mean easy snacks and simple mornings, so the whole family can recharge between adventures.
Free Things To Do
Vancouver rewards guests who like to explore on foot and on a budget. Walk the seawall around Stanley Park, watch the sunset from English Bay Beach, wander the historic streets and steam clock of Gastown, or ride the free Granville Island ferries just for the view of False Creek. Pair any of these with an evening back at the resort, and you've got a full day of Vancouver without spending much at all.
Shopping & Dining on Robson Street
Step outside and you're already on it. Robson Street is downtown Vancouver's premier shopping and dining corridor, lined with everything from flagship fashion retailers to cozy coffee shops and late-night patios. Spend the afternoon browsing, then grab dinner without ever needing a car. It's one of the simplest reasons guests keep coming back to this particular corner of the city.
