The Como Hotel

Near the western end of Comox Street where the West End meets the edge of Stanley Park, The Como Hotel occupies a residential block that keeps it away from Robson Street crowds while staying a six-minute walk from English Bay beach.

The property's 9.6 guest rating across 52 reviews points to a host-scale attention to detail unusual for a three-star address. The West End location means Davie Street's cafés and Denman Street's produce shops are both within two blocks, forming a genuine neighbourhood rather than a tourist corridor.

Stanley Park's seawall entrance at Lagoon Drive is a ten-minute walk north, offering flat cycling and running paths along the water.
