Driving directions from Vancouver International Airport: Follow Grant McConachie Way over the Arthur Laing Bridge. After the bridge, take SW Marine Dr east to Boundary Rd. Turn left onto Boundary and then right onto Kingsway. Hotel is on the left.
Getting there: The hotel provides shuttle service for $10 CDN but arrangements must be made 7 days in advance. Bonny’s Taxi charges a flat rate of $30 CDN but other companies may honor the same price. Metered rates are $26–$35 CDN. Fees subject to change without notice. Rental cars and limousines are available and more than $36. The cheapest but slowest way is by bus and train. From the domestic terminal’s arrival level, take Bus Rte #424, transfer to Rte #100, then onto the westbound SkyTrain at the 22nd St station in New Westminster. Get off at Metrotown station. This trip costs less than $5 CDN but requires 1 hour or longer. Fees subject to change without notice.
Getting around: Many hotel guests get by without a car or taxi. Shoppers can either walk or take a complimentary hotel shuttle to the Metrotown complex. To go farther afield, many prefer public transit. Buses from in front of the hotel and from outside Metrotown cover Burnaby and connect to other suburbs and downtown Vancouver. The elevated SkyTrain from MetroTown is a faster, more direct way into Vancouver. Fares for both are under $5 CDN. Fees subject to change without notice. However, a car is the best way to leave the greater Vancouver area and go up the coast, to the Fraser Valley, or to the Gulf Islands.
