What’s Near Chateau Granville — Vancouver’s Entertainment District

Chateau Granville sits at 1100 Granville Street — the line between downtown Vancouver and Yaletown. Granville Street to the north is the Entertainment District: bars, theatres, restaurants. Three blocks south the warehouse-converted streets of Yaletown begin, dense with cocktail bars and seafood restaurants along Mainland and Hamilton. BC Place stadium is an eight-minute walk east; Rogers Arena is eleven. The False Creek Seawall begins five minutes from our front door. Granville Island is fifteen minutes by aquabus from Yaletown’s Davie Street dock.

Most things downtown Vancouver guests want — sports, theatre, dining, the Seawall, Stanley Park, the cruise terminal, the airport — are within a fifteen-minute radius by foot, transit, or car. The list below covers what’s specifically close, with addresses and times so you can plan rather than guess.

Sports & Entertainment

BC Place and Rogers Arena are both walkable from the hotel — meaning Whitecaps and BC Lions matches, NHL Canucks games, major concerts, and stadium events are eight to eleven minutes by foot or three to four minutes by taxi. For event-day stays, you can leave the car parked and walk to the gate. See what's happening in Vancouver for concerts, games and conferences coming up at these venues.
