Robson Street
Vancouver's answer to Rodeo Drive is located a few short blocks from The Fairmont Waterfront. In this trendy shopping district you will enjoy designer shops such as Armani Exchange, Chanel, Fendi, Banana Republic, The Gap, Mexx, and HMV Megastore as well as numerous sidewalk cafes, restaurants and bars.  

Yaletown
Just a few minutes away from the doorstep of The Fairmont Waterfront, the young, well-heeled and hip have transformed rows of former Yaletown warehouses into a digital district with stylish brick and beam offices, lofts, boutiques, trendy dining, clubs and microbrewery pubs. 

South Granville
Just over the Granville Street Bridge, this 10-block stretch of Granville Street--from Sixth Avenue up to 16th Avenue--is where Vancouver's old-money enclave of Shaughnessy comes to shop. Classic and expensive men's and women's clothiers, and houseware and furniture boutiques predominate. This area is also the heart of Vancouver's gallery row.
