| Yaletown |
Yaletown
is located on the
False Creek's waters edge of
downtown Vancouver,
where once situated a rundown warehouse district of
Vancouver.
Yaletown previously was known as a warehouse district
without much to draw people in other than business.
 During the dotcom boom of the late 90s, Yaletown began
to be transformed into the hub of emerging high-tech
companies. It quickly became the place to work, live and
eat, with restaurants, coffee shops,
Night Clubs and
condos developing at an intense rate! Now
Yaletown is a bustling
community with fantastic amenities,
Activities and
sights.
Yaletown is in the heart of
Vancouver and
within walking distance to most of the
hotels in downtown
Vancouver.
Today's Yaletown covers a much wider area than before
its rebirth, and is now considered to be the area
bounded on the North by Georgia Street, to the West by
Richards Street, to the South by
False Creek and to the
East by Cambie Street.
Originally Vancouver's garment district, Yaletown still
retains its links through its fashionable boutiques and
local designers. Now added to this mix are: high-end
Restaurants , microbreweries, high tech companies, home
furnishings, galleries, BMW's Mini Cooper showroom, &
Opus Hotel
Vancouver a contemporary boutique inn.
It's residential living encompasses everything from
artsy type lofts, to modern waterfront apartment towers.
There are very few places that have seen more dramatic
change than the edge of Yaletown that lies along side
the False Creek waterfront. Yaletown's sea wall includes
a mix of walkers, joggers,
cyclists, roller-bladers, and
many canine friends.
Located
in the heart of Yaletown is probably Vancouver's most
trendy food store called 'Urban Fare'. This is not only
an up market food store, but also houses a restaurant
and a coffee bar in its open plan layout.
Yacht lovers should head for the bottom of Davie Street
where the newly developed marina berths house everything
from the maritime modest, to 'floating palaces'. For
