This place is so massive it's hard to believe it's sitting on landfill, especially with the huge escalators going down to the sublevel where they hold car shows, which as the photo shows is incredibly spacious when empty.

The night view of Vancouver is concentrated here: Wufan Hotel, Convention Center, Globe, Water Drop Statue, Winter Olympic Memorial Plaza, and the water airport are all concentrated here. Nei Street is a famous shop, hotel and business center.
There are a lot of restaurants here, including all-terrain recipes. Of course, the price is not cheap, but the level is very high, and the food is not disappointing.

I had a professional development session here. Perhaps I am just getting used to the place or perhaps they are getting better at running these sessions, but I quite enjoyed the facilities. There was a sign in the parking lot to direct me to the nearest entrance to my session, there were staff at the bottom and top of the escalators to guide me, there was coffee and pastry. The room was a decent temperature, audio was good. Video screens were large and bright. Only complaint? That parking is pricey!

Have gone to several conventions here and they were all run very well. Staff is very clear on where to go and how to get in, convention floor and halls are also very clean and well put together. Not to mention the view is fantastic. The convention floor is also very well optimized.

I have to admit that for the cost of 900 million, this facility looks pretty awesome. They should invest in escalators that automatically turn off when not in use. Also, I'm not sure if LED lights were used but I'm hoping so. The ceiling in the upper floors of the facility is awesome with great views of Vancouver. Also, in the entrance I'm not why there is an area without any lights, it's pretty dark at night time. I'm happy that they are using sustainable water for bathroom flushing and have a live roof with water collection.

There is a east convention and a west convention. Both are perfect place for large conventions, office parties, and weddings. Conveniently located in downtown Vancouver facing the north shore mountains. Very accessible by public transportation (Skytrain, Seabus, buses, and taxi). Many downtown hotels are nearby and within walking distance. Many public parking garages are nearby but kind of pricey.

I give it a 5 star for location and building. However, whenever attending conferences we are always met by miserable female security staff that take their jobs way too seriously. Perhaps it would be a good idea to run a course with them on people skills. Smiling and being approachable is key. Many people visit from all over and this type of negative behavior will deter them from wanting to return. 1 star for them! I will not attend anymore conferences there for that reason solely. I prefer to be in a more positive and welcoming environment. As I read other comments, I see I am not the only one that feels this way.

Convention center host a lot of event here. Car show, Canada day, Fans Expo etc. Parking is expensive because of downtown area, those shop around the convention center is for tourists. They have bike lane and joking along the seaside view, plenty of bench you can sit down and rest to enjoy a cup of tea or coffee.
