Blue Horizon Hotel

As soon as the lobby remodel is complete (it is supposed to be complete by the time I write this review) this hotel should be one of the best in the West End.

A pleasant room with a wonderful high-altitude view of Vancouver, in a very central location. Hotel parking was much easier than expected, extremely simple and convenient.

Pretty big room and good view (17th floor). Great location of the hotel. Clean, very enjoyable stay. Reception was a bit busy sometimes.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We visit fairly often, which raises my one disappointment. We have stayed there 12 nights in the last 6 months. Our most recent visit was delayed one day by a local emergency, but there was no relief. We were charged for the room. Loyalty may have its rewards, but not at Blue Horizon. Otherwise, nice location on Robson, a short walk to a variety of […] dining and shopping venues, ranging from hole in the wall to painfully elite. Rooms are comfortable, with a few odd features (e.g. bath door can't open/close if mat on floor). Beds in good condition. No odors. Plumbing works well. Pay-to-park. Read more

Very nice hotel for the price. Great location and very comfortable room. No room service is the biggest downside but otherwise fabulous place to stay. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

Everyone at the Blue Horizon Hotel was very helpful and the fact that major bus lines stopped out front was great. Many restaurants were within walking distance, and the hotel restaurant had excellent food. We had a large corner room with wonderful lighting for reading. The room was very clean. This was our first visit to Vancouver. We would definitely […] stay at the Blue Horizon again. Read more

We enjoyed staying at Blue Horizon and would book again. The lobby is tiny but our room was large and decorated very nicely. The beds were super comfortable. The staff were pleasant and helpful .

My family had 4 rooms. They were clean, the beds and pillows were comfortable and it was quiet. Nice small cafe in the lobby. Reasonable rates for Vancouver.

A beautiful hotel - room was very spacious and nicely appointed. The view of the ocean and the city was outstanding! The beds were great - comfortable, cozy and even the pillows were good! The staff could not have been more helpful - friendly, courteous and attuned to our every need. Set us up with a tour to Victoria and provided information about other […] things around town. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Vancouver. It is close to shopping, transportation - the hop-on-hop-off bus stops right in front of the hotel - talk about convenient!

Great location, very good cafe!

I chose the hotel because it was a shuttle stop for the bus to the Capilano Suspension Bridge and because we could walk to restaurants and shopping. All the rooms are corner rooms and offer great views especially from upper floors. We arrived in Vancouver via cruise ship early in the morning. We knew our rooms would not be ready, but the hotel was able […] to store our luggage while we began sightseeing. The front desk staff was knowledgeable about things we needed to know like how long it would take to get to the bus station or the airport. The person who stored our bags remembered us on our return and went to retrieve them even before we reached the front desk to check in. The beds were comfortable, the shower was excellent, and the wi-fi worked. Read more

What can I say? The room was fine and priced about right, the service was great and the hotel is centrally located. That gives Blue Horizon a five but doesn't begin to tell the story. We were in Victoria the next day and realized my wife's diamond ring was gone. We called every place we had been from Vancouver to Victoria to report the loss. The Blue […] Horizon housekeepers searched the room and found the ring. Today we drove back to Vancouver to get the ring (and yes, left a cash reward). These kinds of things are priceless and reflect on the Blue Horizon hotel and Canadians in general. How do you rate personal concern and integrity? Read more

Enjoyed my stay immensely. Each room in hotel has a balcony - some with better views than others but that was not pertinent to my stay. I believe there are only 8 rooms on each floor - which means it is very quiet and you almost never see your neighbors. Restaurant in lobby is good. The only thing I really did not like was that room service was not […] available but you could get "to go" from the lobby restaurant. Room was spacious!!!! Bathrooms are not the largest and the facilities are dated but nothing that interfered with my stay. The shopping and convenience of the location on Robson can't be beat . . .There are restaurants of every type(ethnic foods, upscale/fancy, dessert shops, etc.,), places to buy grocery items, clothing(Aldo, Guess) and it not far from the Pacific Centre shopping center. and the University of British Columbia - Vancouver. Complimentary bath robes are provided as well. Read more

My only complaint is that the lobby was small and extremely busy. Since they have no concierge you can end up waiting a long time to get a simple question answered.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The Blue Horizon was in a great location (safe at night), had extremely helpful staff (they recommended 2 great restaurants for us), the trolley pickup is directly outside the hotel entrance, and there are plenty of shops, coffee shops, and things to do nearby. The beds were really comfortable, as were the down pillows and super comfortable robes. We […] liked having a refrigerator in our room. The rooms were very large with amazing views. For the price, it can't be beat. I would definitely stay here next time. Read more

Great location, central to everything, fantastic views, convenient parking in building, hotel restaurant was great for breakfast, very clean and affordable.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Great hotel. Friendly staff. CLEAN, BIG room, I got a double, not the single, but the extra room was great, I liked the layout of the hotel, only a few rooms on each floor, the windows, oh my god, the view!!! Incredible. Balcony another nice plus. The robes were a nice touch. Quiet, never heard anyone else the whole time I was there. Right in the middle […] of the shopping district, food and shops everywhere. Close to everything, and the bus and rail are very close as well. I loved Vancouver, and I loved this hotel, and I WILL stay there again. No car, I did not drive in, so cannot comment on that. The little restaurant and pub were great, and Shenanagans was quiet, but friendly. I went in on a Monday, so no surprise there. Only negative was no wireless internet, I had to hardwire in, which meant sitting at the desk or the chair with the fabulous plush robe and the great view. So hard!! I expected, for the price, to find an average hotel. Blue Horizon was WAY beyond that. Read more

My sister & I were given a corner room with a great view on 27th floor. Expected to get one queen bed but were given two! Room very clean and could not hear city noise from so far up. Were pleasantly surprised to see that room was equipped with mini fridge and bathrobes as well as a very nice closet. Great water pressure in shower! Hotel provided parking […] at reasonable rate in their own garage with anytime in/out permission. Only complaint is that the high-speed internet service was very spotty. Read more

we always stay at the Blue Horizon when in Vancouver as it is close to everything downtown (just have to step out the front door and you're at all the stores, restaurants and coffee shops) and very roomy for a family of 4. The view is always great also. Reasonable rates.

We have been staying at the Blue Horizon for over 20 years and find it continues to be one of the best deals in town. Consistently clean and well-kept rooms and facilities, helpful staff, and great location with good transit service. On-site parking (though for a fee) also makes this convenient when traveling by car.

Hotel is in a great location, easy walking distance to lots of shopping and restaurants. Gastown and even Granville Market (although it's a little bit of a hike) are within walking distance. Staff was generally pretty helpful. The room was very large although the bathroom was pretty tight.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel was in the middle of Robinson St and a very happening location. Lots of shopping and restaurants. Although I found some hair on the floor of the bathroom, (not mine) it was clean and comfortable. The room was spacious and had recently been remodled. I felt I had spent a couple of hundred dollars more than I had. We had a corner room and the view […] of the city was terrific. I would stay here again. Read more

I recently visited Vancouver and stayed in the best location for a hotel ever!!! It is right in the center of EVERYTHING!! The Trolley, Bus and Big Bus all stop right in front of the hotel. You have shops and dining if you turn left or turn right for as far as the eye can see. Walking distance to everything the Vancouver has to offer including Gastown, […] Yaletown, and easy way to catch anything to go further, like Stanley Park and North Vancouver. Robson street is Fashion capitol and if you like shopping, stay here, you can shop all day and just keep dropping it off at the hotel (hear that, no more carrying bags forever men!!) You can hit Grandville Street and the bay and City Center from this central location. only problem i had is that if you want a goo view, you will need to go to the superior suites, lower suites are nice but have a not so great view. Also, the Customer service is OUTSTANDING!! they can tell you anything you need to know and if they don't know, they always have Google up to get you whatever info they need. I love this hotel and would stay here again the next time i visit Vancouver!!! Read more

We recently spent 3 nights at the Blue Horizon hotel in Vancouver. It was a very pleasant experience! The most lucky thing was that the hotel is located on a nice street (Robson street); it's near downtown but in an upper-scale section of residential high rises and nice shops. I had no fear of walking down the well-lit street at night. There are plenty […] of restaurants and shops within walking distance, and great views of the city. Upon arrival we were told we'd been upgraded from a standard 1-queen-bed room to a 2-queen-bed room, which made our room 100 square feet bigger (from 300 to 400 sf)! It was very spacious and comfortable. Two walls have windows and every room has a balcony. There's a large closet and plush bathrobes. The TV is big and there's a mini-fridge. The bathroom is small considering the size of the rest of the room, but it was fine for the two of us. We got a good deal on hotels.com and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality to price ratio, especially considering what an expensive city Vancouver is known to be. If our travels take us back to Vancouver we will stay at the Blue Horizon again. Read more

I've stayed at many of Vancouver's hotels, from budget to luxury, and the Blue Horizon sits in between. The location in the midst of Robson can't be beat, the views are great, and the beds are comfy. I found it curious that this hotel has an "official" 3-star rating but a 4-1/2-star rating from travelers themselves...well, it doesn't have some of the […] touches and amenities of a luxury hotel but what they do, they do well. Check-in was fast, but I know that can vary widely (NEVER expect fast check-in or check-out at the hotel's check-out time) and when we misplaced our keys they were cheerfully replaced. Parking is of course extra but at one of the lowest rates of any Vancouver hotel. The room itself was great (read the other reviews regarding the views) if modestly appointed. The coffeemaker needed replacing (they just get permanent coffee stains after a while and they're cheap to replace) but otherwise it was clean. Although they've got their own restaurant (yet no room service) and bar, being right there on Robson meant all of my favorites were nearby. I will definitely stay at the Blue Horizon again.

We loved both our stays at Blue Horizon in September. The front desk staff even helped us get priority seating at Joe Fortes for dinner to honor my birthday. We loved the balcony views and our room was clean with all the conveniences needed. We had breakfast once at the hotel and it was yummy. We would love to stay here again. Parking is expensive but […] all partking downtown is expensive. Read more

We have stayed at this hotel over the years; it only gets better. Our huge room was newly redecorated and exceptionally pleasant--no edgy or over-trendy decor. Location is outstanding and most rooms have spectacular views. Great value in the center of a major city! Parking spaces in the parkade are rather snug (good for mid-size or smaller only) and […] not too secure--accessible from the street. Food in the cafe was excellent. Read more

Blue Horizon is very conveniently located in the trendy area of Robson Street. We were able to walk to Stanley Park and Gastown easily. There are great restaurants and shops nearby. We had a very well appointed and spacious room with a balcony and beautiful panoramic view of downtown Vancouver from the 29th floor. It was very clean and comfortable and […] a great value! Breakfast in the lobby level sidewalk cafe was very good with a varied menu selection. It was our first visit to Vancouver and we were very pleased with the hotel which seemed to be very reasonable for the city. Would highly recommend it. Read more
