If you are interested in visiting Vancouver (British Columbia) for a foodie adventure, you are in the right spot. Where to Stay? The Westin Bayshore, 0f course :) The first thing you will need to do is find suitable accommodation. Selecting a hotel in Vancouver can be challenging as there are multiple options to choose from.
