Best Business Hotels Near Sperling-Burnaby Lake
Six hotels along the Millennium Line near Sperling-Burnaby Lake Station state features that suit a business trip: Delta Hotels Burnaby Conference Centre at 8.6, Accent Inns Burnaby at 8.6, Holiday Inn Express Vancouver-Metrotown with a business center at 8.4, Executive Plaza Hotel Coquitlam and its conference centre at 8.4, Best Western Plus Burnaby Hotel at 8.0 and Executive Suites Hotel and Conference Centre Metro Vancouver at 7.4. Two other hotels carry the business tag, Element by Marriott and Inn at the Quay, but state nothing for work, so I left them out. Below I compare the six.
Burnaby's business district runs alongside Coquitlam's, and both feed hotel demand that has little to do with sightseeing. Conference centers, meeting space and executive suites are common here precisely because so many guests are passing through for work rather than vacation, which keeps prices more reasonable than downtown Vancouver's business hotels for the same amenities.
Where to stay
Six hotels that suit a business trip
For business travel in this corridor the practical questions are conference space, parking, a place to work and an easy SkyTrain ride. The six hotels here answer those in different ways, so I explain what each one states.
Sperling-Burnaby Lake Station is on the Millennium Line in Burnaby, and the hotels on this page are along the corridor toward Metrotown, Coquitlam and New Westminster. For a work trip that means SkyTrain connections into Vancouver and conference hotels that were built for events, not only for rooms. Our data states conference facilities at three of the six, a business center at one, and a free area shuttle at another. I picked these six because each states something that helps a business traveler, and I left out two tagged hotels that state nothing of the kind, so that the page stays truthful.
Delta Hotels Burnaby Conference Centre is rated 8.6 from 2,100 reviews and described as an upmarket 4-star conference hotel with city views, room service, a bar, a fitness center, a sauna, a hot tub, free parking and a pet-friendly policy. Executive Plaza Hotel Coquitlam, rated 8.4 from 2,097 reviews, is a 4-star hotel and conference centre with a restaurant, a piano bar and an outdoor pool, with parking and breakfast at an additional charge. Executive Suites Hotel and Conference Centre Metro Vancouver, rated 7.4 from 1,487 reviews, offers suites, some with whirlpool tubs, a gym and a heated outdoor pool. These three are the real conference options.
Holiday Inn Express Vancouver-Metrotown (Burnaby) is rated 8.4 from 1,087 reviews, one minute from Metrotown, with a business center, a free breakfast bar, free parking, an outdoor pool, an exercise room, a restaurant and full-service laundry. Best Western Plus Burnaby Hotel is rated 8.0 from 1,328 reviews, a minute from a Kingsway bus stop, with free hot breakfast, free parking, an outdoor pool and a fitness center, and it is described as suiting business stopovers. Accent Inns Burnaby is rated 8.6 from 1,067 reviews, with a free area shuttle, free parking, a restaurant, a hot tub and a fitness center. These three suit a shorter, simpler work trip.
Honesty matters here: our data does not specify meeting room sizes, capacity or business hours, so for a real event I would ask each hotel directly. It also says that Executive Plaza and Executive Suites charge extra for parking and breakfast, while Delta, Holiday Inn Express, Best Western and Accent Inns state free parking. For a conference or multi-day work trip, I would start with Delta. For a quick stopover with a business center and free breakfast, I would choose the Holiday Inn Express. None of these figures replaces a call, but they make the shortlist easy to defend.
A traveler's perspectiveI would choose Delta Hotels Burnaby Conference Centre for a conference or multi-day work trip: it is rated 8.6 from over two thousand reviews, described as an upmarket conference hotel with room service, a fitness center and free parking. For a short stopover with a business center and free breakfast, I would look at Holiday Inn Express Vancouver-Metrotown, rated 8.4. I would ask both about meeting space and the SkyTrain ride before booking.
