Where to stay in South Granville
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
A stay in South Granville puts the storefronts of Granville Street at the door and keeps Vancouver's downtown core a short run off, which suits visitors after a neighbourhood address instead of a tower above the harbour. Granville Street is the spine. Anyone here for the Museum of Vancouver or the Seaforth Armoury gains from a base on this stretch, with Kitsilano and Fairview bordering it and Shaughnessy quiet behind.
