Best Hotels With A Bar Near Sperling-Burnaby Lake
Seven hotels around the Sperling-Burnaby Lake stretch of the Millennium Line state a bar on site or a bar one minute away, from the 4-star Delta Hotels Burnaby Conference Centre at 8.6 to the budget Turf Hotel at 7.4. Hilton Vancouver Metrotown, Executive Plaza Hotel Coquitlam, Executive Suites Hotel and Conference Centre Metro Vancouver, Inn at the Quay and Hotel At The Waldorf complete the list. This is a SkyTrain corridor, so the bar matters mostly as an easy end to the evening. Below I compare the seven and say what I would confirm before booking.
The bar scene along this corridor mirrors its hotels: practical and conference-friendly rather than a nightlife destination in its own right. A piano bar at Executive Plaza Hotel Coquitlam or a lounge at Hilton Vancouver Metrotown suits a quiet drink after work, while Hotel At The Waldorf's tiki bar in Vancouver stands out as the one genuinely distinctive nightlife stop on this list.
Where to stay
Seven stays with a bar nearby
A hotel bar is useful in a SkyTrain corridor because the last ride home can be a short one: you finish the evening a lift or a few steps from your room. These seven stays state a bar on site, or a bar one minute away.
The Millennium Line runs through Burnaby, and the hotels on this page sit along the corridor from Metrotown toward Coquitlam and New Westminster, with SkyTrain and bus stops one to eight minutes away on foot. That makes the bar a practical amenity rather than a luxury: after a day of meetings, shopping or sightseeing in Vancouver, an evening drink at the hotel avoids a late ride. All seven listings state a bar or a bar-and-restaurant within a minute's walk, and four of them state a pet-friendly policy, which helps travelers with a dog who still want a quiet drink after dinner.
Delta Hotels Burnaby Conference Centre is rated 8.6 from 2,100 reviews and described as an upmarket 4-star conference hotel with a bar, room service, a sauna, a hot tub, free parking and a pet-friendly policy. Hilton Vancouver Metrotown is rated 8.4 from 2,518 reviews, with a heated rooftop pool, a restaurant and lounge, and Time & Place Kitchen | Bar one minute away. Executive Plaza Hotel Coquitlam, rated 8.4 from 2,097 reviews, has a piano bar and an outdoor pool. I would pick Delta for free parking, Hilton for the rooftop pool and Executive Plaza for the piano bar.
Inn at the Quay is a contemporary 3-star hotel rated 8.4 from 1,511 reviews, with river views, a gym, a sauna, a restaurant, room service, a bar and a pet-friendly policy, eight minutes' walk from New Westminster Station. Executive Suites Hotel and Conference Centre Metro Vancouver is rated 7.4 from 1,487 reviews, with suites, some with whirlpool tubs, and Acqua Restaurant, Patio and Bar one minute away. I would choose Inn at the Quay for a quieter riverside evening and Executive Suites when a suite with a whirlpool tub matters more than the score.
The two budget options are Hotel At The Waldorf, rated 7.2 from 817 reviews, with a kitschy tiki bar, an Italian café, free parking and a pet-friendly policy, and Turf Hotel, rated 7.4 from 134 reviews, with a bar and restaurant, free parking and free Wi-Fi. Both are simple places, and Turf's small number of reviews calls for a light reading of its score. Our data gives no bar hours for any hotel, so I would ask before building an evening around one, especially at the two budget stays. For most travelers I would start with Delta.
A traveler's perspectiveI would choose Delta Hotels Burnaby Conference Centre as the best all-round pick: it is rated 8.6 from over two thousand reviews, with a bar on site, room service, a sauna, a hot tub, free parking and a pet-friendly policy. For a quieter evening by the river, I would look at Inn at the Quay, rated 8.4, with a bar, restaurant and room service. I would ask both about bar hours before planning an evening around them.
