Vancouver City is bordered on the north by Burrard Inlet, which is the City's main harbour. English Bay, a large body of water that is popular with sailboarders and sailboaters alike, also serves as a freighter's 'parking lot' as they wait for berths in the harbour. The Bay marks the western edge of the City's downtown core and the northern edge of the City's west side and Point Grey area.
For some of the best views in all of Canada, these luxury hotels in Vancouver offer direct Harbor views. Vancouver's downtwon encompasses the harbor and from their you can see the Strait of Georgia's waters, glacial fjords, and mountains capped with snow and covered in dense old-growth forest.
