Shopping District
Downtown / Granville St.
Downtown, Vancouver
The downtown blocks bordered by Burrard, Howe, Hastings and Georgia streets is a surprising treasure trove of unique stores, high-end fashion retailers and invaluable services.
The buzz of downtown is complimented by the shops & restaurants that embrace it.
This energetic shopping district is right by the financial district, so you’ll find that many of your fellow shoppers are business-types on their lunch break and people grabbing a gift or bouquet after work.
It’s very close to many of the downtown Vancouver hotels as well as the cruise ship terminal at Canada Place, making it a convenient area to shop if you’re limited on time. The Waterfront Centre Shops offer a great mix of fashion, plus services like a post office, drug store, ATMs, newsstands and souvenirs, making it the perfect destination for one-stop shopping.
Undoubtedly, the biggest shopping draw on Granville Street is the Pacific Centre mall, anchored by three department stores including Canada’s high-end Holt Renfrew, and the upscale Nordstrom from the U.S. The mall runs three city blocks, much of it underground, and specializes in fashion brands. Outside the mall, you’ll find other retail shopping as you head south along Granville, mainly clustered from Georgia to Smithe.
