Hotels in Commercial Drive, Vancouver

Commercial Drive — 'The Drive' to Vancouverites — is the city's most eclectic neighbourhood: a long mixed strip of Italian coffee culture (dating from 1950s immigration), Ethiopian restaurants, the best cheap Jamaican food in Canada, independent bike shops and a monthly car-free festival. Genuinely diverse and largely ungentrified, it provides the sharpest possible contrast to Vancouver's glass-tower and mountain-view marketing. The Expo Line connects to downtown in 15 minutes. For a Vancouver base at better value and greater character than Gastown or Yaletown, with the city's most interesting street for a slow afternoon walk, Commercial Drive rewards every time.

9 hotels within walking distance of Commercial Drive, in the heart of Vancouver, including 4 properties rated 4 stars or higher. The closest is Modern King Studio - 10 mins to Downtown - Free Parking & Pet Friendly, about 732m from the centre of the neighbourhood.
