A Room by the Beach with a Local Touch
The Best Western Plus Sands hotel on Davie Street offers an ideal blend of comfort, convenience, and local charm at English Bay. A sprawling footprint that includes over 120 guest rooms, a high-tech gym, full service restaurant, and adjacent iconic sunset-viewing bar means every moment of your get-away can be both full and relaxing.
Exceptional Service & Local Expertise
“Our guests come from all over the world. Some of our regulars slip away from suburban life for a mini-getaway, right here in the city,” General Manager, Dallas Worthington, told us. “When you live and work in Vancouver’s West End, it’s easy to take for granted the amazing community we walk through every day. We have every type of restaurant you could want, plus the beach and Stanley Park, only a short stroll away. You don’t need a vehicle, though we have guest parking, too. Our staff knows exactly where to recommend visitors find the experience they’re hoping for. We all love the summer sunshine and fireworks evenings, but there’s also so much. to enjoy with a quiet, grey-day getaway and walks along the seawall.”
Because of its unique positioning in the center of the West End’s hub at Davie and Denman Streets, the Best Western Sands focuses on keeping its rooms in top shape, with cozy living room feature walls and the most comfortable beds. “Our guests know they will get great Best Western quality, with the benefit of our rewards program. We want this to be a “home away from home” and who can beat waking up such a short distance from the best beach in Vancouver?” Worthington said.
Great Rest, Lots to Do, and Exceptional Cuisine
In the main footprint of the hotel, there are two entertainment and eating centers, plus a fair-weather outdoor patio. The Park Pub offers a constantly rotating selection of beers on tap, plus happy hour specials, live music on the weekends, and a calendar full of enjoyable evening entertainment options. Next door, the iconic Bayside Lounge offers unbeatable, 180-degree views of English Bay with a glass of BC wine at the end of the day.
“Our restaurant’s kitchen is famous for their classic mushroom cheddar burger, but our breakfasts are stand-out, too. Chicken and Waffles with Eggs Benedict and Churo French Toast will get your day going — and we have vegetarian and extra healthy options as well,” Worthington told us.
A Place Where Everyone Loves to Be
One of the standout features of the Best Western Plus Sands is its staff, several of whom have worked at the hotel for more than 20 years. As a team working together like a family, they know how to take care of their guests and how to make everyone feel welcome.
