Blue Horizon Hotel

A renovated '60's charmer whose humble, unfussy rooms with ocean-hued accents are made spectacular by the real thing on display from private balconies or top floor meeting facilities. Bargain-priced even for penthouse suites, every room's a corner, many with kitchenettes for the cost-conscious; all non-smoking. Breakfast on the patio at Inlets Cafe provides unbeatable people-watching, as guests gear up to spend savings at some of Vancouver's best shopping right on their doorstep.
