West End
Where city, ocean
and forest meet
Ask me anything about the West End! 🌲🏞
The West End is one of the oldest residential neighbourhoods in Vancouver — and, as the gateway to Stanley Park, for good reason. Locals and visitors alike can easily transition from the ocean, beaches, and forest to the city within blocks.
400+
hectares (1,000+ acres) of old growth forest, walking trails, and coastline in Stanley Park.
Within the West End, you will find the iconic Stanley Park, English Bay, and the hub of the city’s LGBTQ+ community — the vibrant Davie Village.
Stanley Park is wrapped by the world’s longest waterfront path, the Vancouver Seawall
The West End offers a diverse and eclectic scene.
It’s bookended by the coastline and the downtown core, providing easy access to urban beaches, sprawling green spaces, and metropolitan amenities. Streets are tree-lined, highrises and heritage homes are neighbours, and public art
and parks abound.

Land, sea, or human-made fun
Step into the vibrant heart of Vancouver's West End, where every alley and street corner has a story to tell about heritage and resilience. This neighbourhood is bursting with a mix of experiences that allow you to dive into the past while enjoying the present.
Breathtaking views at your doorstep
In one word, the West End is walkable. But this doesn’t just refer to its urban centrality; when you’re here, you want to step out of your front door and take it all in. Stay in historic ivy-covered buildings like Sylvia Hotel or a chic, retro inn like The Burrard.
