Where to stay
There is no official conference hotel. The planning committee has assembled some ideas on where to stay. Accommodations in downtown Vancouver can be expensive. If you are interested in sharing a room or an AirBnB, post in our Slack channel.
If you have tips on where to stay, please let us know and we'll add them here.

More affordable options
Hotel Name and Link | Price (CAD) | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
$68 | 3★ hostel | Cheapest option. Very loud neighborhood. | |
$163 | Guesthouse | Heritage building on Granville St; a step up from a hostel but not full-service. | |
$176 | 3★ hotel | Formerly YWCA Hotel Vancouver; proceeds support YWCA BC. Right beside a great jazz bar! A solid affordable option. | |
$276-356 | 3★ hotel | “Best Budget Boutique.” Private or shared bathrooms, with shared being more affordable. |
Beyond downtown
The venue is close to public transit, so staying at a location outside downtown and commuting may be an option if you are looking for accommodations at lower rates.
