About South Granville
Where to stay in South Granville
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
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.
About South Granville
What are the main landmarks in South Granville?
Six entries carry the district. The Museum of Vancouver leads them, while the Seaforth Armoury and the 15th Field Artillery Regiment, RCA Museum and Archives give this part of Vancouver a military record alongside its shopfronts. Sport and worship fill the rest, from the Vancouver Lawn Tennis and Badminton Club and Athletic Park to the Redeemer Lutheran Church.
What is the history of South Granville?
The date in the record is 1997, when South Granville was established as a business improvement area along Granville Street. A short list of addresses does the rest. The Seaforth Armoury, Athletic Park and the Redeemer Lutheran Church appear in the district's listings, and together with the Museum of Vancouver they hold more of the neighbourhood's account than the founding date does.
