Vancouver is a pretty cool city and I was surprised at the volume of homeless people there. The streets are pretty crowded but there is plenty to see. We didn't spend much time there and I am sure it would be a great vacation in itself.
We did stay at a fantastic hotel though. The JW Marriott Parq Hotel is everything a luxury hotel should be. Fortunately, my friend got us a room with her Marriott Points.
Here are some photos of the hotel and street scenes. Our view at the hotel afforded us an incredible view, a super work out facility and outdoor hot tub which we enjoyed in the rain.
