Where to Stay
Downtown Locations
There are quite a few great places to stay all within a 2-3 minute walk / 2-3 block radius of the Fairmont Pacific Rim (Reception location).Prior to the big day, Jason will be staying at Coast Coal Harbor Hotel, and then both Iris & Jason will be at the Fairmont Pacific Rim on the night of their wedding.
Guests are by no means expected / requested / obligated to stay at or around the Fairmont Pac Rim, but it does make getting back to your hotel all the more convenient if you're close by!
Finally, for those who may be staying further away, Waterfront Station (SkyTrain, SeaBus) is a few short blocks away. Check out http://www.translink.ca/en/Schedules-and-Maps.aspx for more info!
