Vancouver weather in Nov/Dec, places of interest
We hope to stopover in Vancouver enroute to US somewhere in mid Nov to end Dec, which will be a better month to be in Vancouver? Nov or Dec?
Can someone pls recommend some good hotels in Vancouver and places of interest we should not miss if we are only staying for 2-3 days? What's the best way to get to town from airport for a family of 4? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. |

The later in the year, the more likely it's going to rain. Actually it's going to start raining in Nov. anyway. Can someone pls recommend some good hotels in Vancouver Define "Good". and places of interest we should not miss if we are only staying for 2-3 days? What are your interests?

With a bit of luck you may see the sun for a little while, but it is more likely to be raining. I enjoyed my stay at the Hotel Vancouver, and it has a free shuttle to the airport. The art gallery is (almost) next door IIRC, and the museum at UBC is interesting. If the weather is decent you can go to Stanley Park.You might consider a day trip or maybe an overnight trip to Whistler. |

As others have mentioned, it's likely to be cool, cloudy and wet; we've visited in January and had bright sunshine so you might be lucky. The old but nice Sylvia Hotel is near Stanley Park and a block from Denham Street restaurants. The Sky Shuttle train just opened up to the airport if you want to use public transit. |

Te person who answered this obviously visit Vancouver before the Sky Train went into service. A lot of the shuttles from the hotels are now cancelled as the sky train is nearby and easy to get to. The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, while very nice, is one of the most expensive hotels in the city. It's right up there with the Four Seasons, Pan Pacific, and Sutton Hotels. Whistler would be great, but you would be going just before the Olympics, and so you could get birds eye view of the preparations without the mobs of people and astronomical prices. I love Whistler. |

December is darker and colder so I'd opt for November. Can someone pls recommend some good hotels in Vancouver One person's "good" is another person's "dump" and is yet another person's "too expensive". Give us a benchmark. and places of interest we should not miss if we are only staying for 2-3 days? What interests you? What's the best way to get to town from airport for a family of 4? The new rapid transit line will take the four of you right downtown for $15. Only the most expensive hotels are upstairs from any of the downtown subway stations, though. Otherwise, you will need to take a taxi from the subway station to your hotel. A taxi from the airport to any downtown hotel's front door will cost you about $30 so it's hardly worth the bother trying to use the new transit line. -- K. Lang may your lum reek. |

It's noticeable that in response to this kind of query, when responders
ask for further clarification, the original poster can't be bothered to reply. |
