A picturesque landmark jutting into Coal Harbour,
Canada Place provides the ultimate opportunity for visitors to experience
Vancouver. Spectacular views of the North Shore mountains, Stanley Park, and
the Lions Gate Bridge can be seen from the deck surrounding Canada Place
that also acts as the port for the majority of Vancouver's cruise ships.
Known as "The Sails", the venue is home to the Vancouver Convention &
Exhibition Centre, an IMAX theatre, the world renowned Pan Pacific Hotel,
and the Vancouver Board of Trade. Canada Place is one of the most easily
distinguished buildings on the Vancouver skyline.
The Vancouver Convention & Exhibition Centre (VCEC) is a fully-equipped facility, home to more than 150,000 square feet of highly flexible function space. Adjacent to the world famous Pan Pacific Hotel, the VCEC hosts conventions, symposiums, fairs, expos and conferences with thousands of people passing through its doors everyday. Conveniently located within downtown, the VCEC is the perfect spot to start exploring Vancouver.
One of Vancouver's most prestigious hotels, the Pan Pacific is known
around the world for its exceptional service, incredible location, and the
finishing touches expected by the most discerning travelers, whether
business or leisure. All of the 504 guestrooms have picture windows that
gaze upon the wonderful views of the city, the ocean and the surrounding
mountains of the North Shore. The Pan Pacific Hotel is one of a kind.
More than just a movie theatre, IMAX puts you in
the middle of it all with a huge screen, huge sound, and huge entertainment.
Award-winning technology brings audiences the ultimate experience for the
senses with awe-inspiring films most often highlighting the extremes of our
planet, whether it be the animal kingdom, feats of human strength and
ingenuity, or exploration of space.
Canada Place is home to one of Vancouver's two ports where cruise ships
dock for the always popular Vancouver-Alaska cruise. Nothing compares to
pulling away from Canada Place, slowly gliding under the Lions Gate Bridge
and heading north on the open ocean towards the wilds of Alaska aboard a
majestic cruise ship.
