Coal Harbour · at the convention centre
Right at the convention centre with harbour views. The no-planning-needed option when the session runs late.
Paradox Hotel · West Georgia St
Upscale Chinese known for its roast duck. A polished room for a client dinner.
Gastown
Contemporary French in a heritage building. Good food without stiffness, and a strong cocktail list.
Parq Vancouver · Stadium District
Steakhouse above the Parq casino with city views. A strong pregame pick on hockey nights.
Stadium District
BC oysters and seafood in a casual room. A relaxed team night before or after a game.
Gastown, Stanley Park and downtown
Private walking tours through the city's scandalous history, led by actors. Easy to slot in before dinner.
Gastown
Escape rooms a short walk from the convention centre. Split a bigger group into teams and race.
Downtown
Cooking school that runs team classes, and you eat what you make. Dinner and team building in one.
Chinatown
Pottery class for groups. Low-key and creative, and a good fit for teams that don't want competition.
Nothing matches that combination yet. Try a different group size.
