Where to Stay: Why Kitsilano is the Fan Favorite
While BC Place is located in the heart of Downtown, many visitors prefer the local experience of Kitsilano. Known by locals as “Kits,” this neighborhood offers the perfect balance of world-class beaches and easy transit access to the stadium.
Proximity: Only a 10-15 minute transit or bike ride to the stadium.
Vibe: Best coffee shops, local boutiques, and the famous Kitsilano Beach.
Space: Our furnished rentals provide more comfort and privacy than crowded downtown hotels.
