Where to Stay in Vancouver During The Vancouver World Cup

Vancouver is set to host seven FIFA World Cup games, all at BC Place. If you scored tickets, or are planning on being in town for the action, you’ll want a hotel near BC Place so you can get to the action fast. Here are the top picks for accommodations in Vancouver that put you close to the stadium and with activities to enjoy between matches.

What Neighbourhood Should I Stay In?

Stadium District

JW Marriott Parq

If you want a hotel near BC Place, the JW Marriott Parq Hotel, is the closest you’ll get. Vancouver's only integrated resort, the JW Marriott, features sleek, modern rooms that keep you right in the center of all the action. What was once an industrial area is now the city’s event hub, where you’re just steps from both BC Place and Rogers Arena.

For the ultimate experience, stay in one of the Sky Suites that directly overlook BC Place, it’ll be almost like watching from your own box without ever leaving the bed. And if you’re feeling lucky, test your luck at their Vegas-like casino and unwind at the world-class spa. The Victor is attached to your Vancouver accommodation, known for the best medium-rare steaks in the city.

Georgian Court Hotel

Also in the Stadium District is The Georgian Court Hotel, a boutique Vancouver accommodation that feels distinctly Vancouver, and it’s one of the last standing independently owned hotels around. It's designed with thoughtful touches, like pet-friendly accommodations and a complimentary umbrella service, true for that local feel.

And for that extra game day prep, the hotel offers upgraded amenities like premium bath products and flat irons in the rooms. After the match, be sure to savour a glass of Sangiovese red and handmade pasta for dinner at Frankie's Italian Kitchen and Bar. After hours, head next door to Frankie's Jazz Club, where you can unwind to smooth saxophone vibes under the neon lights.

Yaletown

Opus Hotel

Another hotel near BC Place is the Opus Hotel, located in the effortlessly cool Yaletown. What was once a rail yard became prime real estate for coffee shops and boutique shopping by day, and chic cocktail lounges by night. Staying at the Opus Hotel is where you’ll get all the Yaletown vibes. Their rooms have that art deco feel and are inspired by character-driven stories. Each room has its own colour scheme and metropolitan views of the downtown core while still being a hotel near BC Place.

It’s also right across from Yaletown–Roundhouse SkyTrain Station, making it super easy to zip to BC Place in just a few minutes. The Opus takes modern luxury up a notch with its complimentary cruiser bike service so that you can explore the city at your own pace.

The Wedgewood Hotel

The Wedgewood Hotel has a distinct energy from the doormen's blue suits, to the vintage chandeliers, this European-style stay is one of the last remaining family-owned hotels in Vancouver. Located just across from the Vancouver Art Gallery, you can take in the art at the exhibits or simply linger on the steps to see the city’s art in motion.

During your luxury stay, expect a full-service spa and award-winning dining at The Bacchus, featuring a Venetian menu with Pacific Northwest influences. And to make your stay as seamless as possible, the Wedgewood offers a 24/7 concierge service, including transportation to the big game.

Coal Harbour

Fairmont Waterfront

In the heart of Downtown Vancouver is the beautiful Fairmont Waterfront Hotel in Coal Harbour, with views so good they’ll make you feel like you’re in a postcard. Coal Harbour is best known for big yachts and even bigger condos reflecting off the mountains. To experience both city and nature, you’ll have direct access to the Seawall and Stanley Park right outside this Vancouver accommodation.

What really sets this hotel apart is its commitment to sustainability, as it’s home to one of Vancouver’s first green roofs and rooftop beehives, where fresh herbs, produce, and honey are harvested for the kitchen. Be sure to check out the Arc Restaurant inside the hotel for a recharge after the excitement of the World Cup.

If you’ve been meaning to make the trip out to the West Coast, now’s your moment. With the World Cup lighting up Vancouver, don’t wait to book your standout Vancouver accommodation, and keep the celebrations going both on and off the field.
