Hotels in Lower Mainland British Columbia, Canada

The Lower Mainland of British Columbia hugs the Pacific coast around Vancouver, with mild winters (averaging 40°F/4°C) and warm summers (around 70°F/21°C). In winter, you can ski at Grouse Mountain just 20 minutes from downtown, while summer brings hiking in the Coastal Mountains or kayaking in English Bay. The region's famous for its mix of ocean and snow, so if you want to catch a whale-watching tour in April or October, head to Granville Island for a boat.
