Patricia Hotel

A 1-block walk from Chinatown and 5 blocks from Gastown’s trendy bars and restaurants, this budget option in a converted classic 1913 hotel is a 5-minute drive from BC Place’s multi-purpose stadium.

No-frills rooms with modest decor and furnishings have private bathrooms with showers, cable TV and complimentary WiFi. Some upgraded rooms include minifridges, claw-foot tubs and city views.

An informal bar with a pool table serves pub classics and its own lager, micro-brewed on site. The low-key lobby offers relaxed seating and an upright piano. Parking in an above-ground monitored lot has a small fee.
