The incredible view of Coal Harbour from our room at the Renaissance Vancouver Harbourside
I could not wait to get home and share these photos from the 2013 SeaWheeze Half Marathon AND the information about The Renaissance Vancouver Harbourside. If you are traveling to Vancouver for any reason prepare yourself for one of the most memorable trips of your life. Finding a great place to stay is key on any trip. There is no doubt in my mind that "location, location, location" is important.
The Renaissance was the perfect choice for this trip. The hotel is literally steps from the start line of the race and a very short walk to the water front restaurants that line Coal Harbour. Coal Harbour lies between Vancouver's downtown and Stanley Park. I can't think of a better area to stay in when visiting this city.

My favorite thing about this hotel was the convenience for the race but there were many more positives. It is modern, fresh, clean, affordable and full of good energy from the helpful staff. I overheard many of the racers who were staying there say that the staff was very informed about the race events and logistics. This is invaluable when you are not familiar with the area or the event.
When I travel I like to find out secrets about the area that only the locals would know. The Renaissance helps you to do that through their "In-The-Know" recommendations which are compiled weekly and made available to the guests. I was also impressed to learn that the Hotel Association of Canada has awarded the Renaissance with the 4 Green Key Eco-rating. In order to receive this rating the hotel had to excel in nine areas of sustainable hotel operations including energy conservation, indoor air quality and community outreach. Congrats to the staff of the Renaissance for achieving this!!!
I hope that if you get a chance to visit Vancouver that you will book at room here. You are forgiven if you cry when you check out!
