Celebrating the Spectacular Seasons of Vancouver

Watching the maple leaves turn vibrantly red and gold, witnessing a profusion of pretty pink cherry blossoms, waking up to the first dusting of snow or walking carefree while barefoot on the beach in shorts and sunnies: who doesn’t want to live in or visit a city with four distinct seasons?

Late Autumn Adventures in Vancouver’s West End

By:

Despite the blustery west coast weather that Vancouver typically receives in the late autumn and early winter season, this does not deter locals or visitors from visiting the iconic English Bay, a captivating ocean side with one of the most panoramic vistas of the city. It’s virtually jam-packed with people for the popular New Years Day Polar Bear Swim as well as for the internationally acclaimed Celebration of Light fireworks festival in the summer, but during the late fall/early winter when English Bay in the West End neighbourhood is less crowded does it become an interesting area that is truly worthwhile to investigate.

Stanley Park In Our Backyard!

Spring is in Full Bloom around Lord Stanley Suites!

It’s undeniable; the signs of spring are just about everywhere you look as soon as you step out the doors of Lord Stanley; in fact, down the block at Chilco & Alberni, right at the entrance to Stanley Park, there’s a magnificent grouping of cherry trees in frothy, pink splendour. Saunter across Georgia St to Coal Harbour; there you’ll find spectacular splashes of pink blossoming trees that line the seawall walkway. Even the majestic Sliding Edge waterfall is flanked with carefree branches of blossoms swaying in the breeze and heralding the first breath of spring.
