Coal Harbour

Coal Harbour is a Vancouver neighbourhood with a character all its own, despite being just adjacent northwest of the city’s downtown. Visitors of Coal Harbour can at once be captivated by its nearly six-mile-long Seawall Water Walk providing awesome views of the neighbourhood’s namesake harbour. Interesting public art pieces and interpretive plaques along the path also provide a glance at Coal Harbour’s fascinating industrial history as a former shipyard.

Bike rentals are available in this neighbourhood, allowing easy access to various points of interest along the sea walk. Biking or strolling by the seafront offer leisurely stops at the lush greenbelt of Cardero Park, Harbour Green Park, and Marina Square where condo towers provide an impressive backdrop to myriads of boats moored on the water.

In addition, Coal Harbour is home to the Vancouver Convention Center, the city’s flagship events venue featuring nearly 30,000 square metres of exhibition space good for six exhibit halls indoors. The center, which also boasts outdoor gathering spaces, hosts more than 500 events a year, including trade shows and concerts.

Several major hotels are located in Coal Harbour, among them Pinnacle Hotel Harbourfront with 442 guest rooms and its adjacent 438-room Vancouver Marriott Pinnacle Downtown Hotel. The Westin Bayshore Hotel offering 499 rooms is another five-star lodging choice in the neighbourhood, with the casual but upscale H2 Kitchen + Bar one of the hotel’s popular attractions.

For even more laid-back dining options, some great choices are available along Coal Harbour’s seawall. The choices of larger restaurants can be found towards the convention centre where the picks likewise include some cafes. For a convenient mix of in-store shopping and take-out dining, drop by Urban Fare near Harbour Green Park. Here, you can pick up a takeaway roast lamb after loading on-shelf items from its grocery store.

Harbourfront too is the way to go for pub-style drinking, particularly around the convention centre. One local favourite here comes in Tap & Barrel where visitors can enjoy their food and drinks on its scenic waterfront patios. Boasting as one of Canada’s best-managed companies, this Coal Harbour attraction exclusively serves beer on tap to do away with bottles and offers wine from an extensive menu list.
