It is easy to get the big things right. The difference between a great place and a so-so place are the little details. The Georgian Court does the details.

After searching online for a while, we finally setteled on the Georgian Court for our Vancouver stay. It was a little more pricy than other downtown hotels, but rated highly on this site. I now know why.

First off, the location is very good. It was an easy walk to Yaletown, Robson Street, Gastown, China Town, and stations for the light rail and the Aquabus. We had a car, but never used it. A car would only be needed for Stanley Park or the attractions off of the downtown peninsula.

The facility was very nice. They did all of the little details right: robes, tourism information, double sheets, extra pillows and towels, coffee/tea bar, extra phones, etc. The room was also very clean, very quiet, and in the morning, very dark.

The staff was also first class. There was never a wait at the front desk. They were helpful with directions and recommendations. And most impressive, when their was a problem with getting the room safe open, they were very responsive and dedicated in fixing the problem when they could have easily dismissed us and told us that we had to wait for the technician hours later. The extra effort and care was very impressive.

This place is worth the little extra expense!

We spent 5 days at the Georgian...what a great way to end our trip....everything about the hotel was great...best king bed we have slept in....highly recccomend this hotel ....staff, rooms and restaurent were all first class

Very well appointed rooms, super friendly and helpful staff. The rooms are fairly quiet and the location is great. Some of the reviews here claim the area is sketchy. This is true of the outlying areas, but if you stick to Robson you'll be fine. Otherwise, take a cab. They are not expensive in Vancouver.

Stayed at this hotel for business........Your never really sure when it comes to private hotels ( not the regular chains ) but this was not bad at all. Front desk was very polite, helpful and courteous at all times as was the staff in the attached restaurant. Rooms were very clean and beds / linens were surprisingly good. I had excellent sleeps. Bath products are by Aveda which is a nice touch.......Two free bottles of water in room replenished daily......another nice touch not having to pay $4.00 a bottle like some other hotels. We used a meeting room for one day which was a good facility plus they provided excellent service for breaks which included soft drinks; coffee etc., with freshly baked chocolate chip cookies and a bunch of other things........Very good..The price is cheaper than some of the other downtown hotels by a fairly wide margin.......The only thing that could use some attention I thought was the shower would never get nice and hot only warm almost hitting hot ( no big deal ) and the pressure was very weak. If you are thinking about trying it out I would definately give it a shot. The Shark Club right around the corner in the Sandman is a good place to watch a hockey game etc., as it is a Sports Pub.
