I think Hotel Vancouver is probably a good bet if you want up-scale ones. Everything is good with this hotel except that the bath-tub is a little small and the number appear at your monthly credit card bill is a little too big. I personally prefer Pan Pacific at the moment, if you book with american express, you get 50% off. The downside of Pan pacific is that there is a construction site on the habour side, so it gets noisy in the morning. I haven't had a chance to stay at the westin, but i heard its really quiet and up-scale. You may want to look it up if it is one of your concerns. As for SP preferance, I think as long as its a 4-5 star hotel, they wont have any complaints. Make sure they have access to your room though, some hotels(executive floors) need a room key before you can ride the elavator.
