I seem pretty set on the Pacific Rim, seems like it's the place to be in Vancouver.

Any recommendations for things to do? Typically more of a dining and shopping type of person, but wouldn't mind an early morning hike or a stroll to the park if there's any great scenery.
The bar scene - depends on my mood, but usually a good thing

We recently borrowed the complimentary BMW bikes and toured around Stanley Park and Granville Island. I believe they limit them to 3 hours/day, which was plenty for us. Stanley Park looks close from the rooms, but it is actually quite a walk from the lobby to the park entrance.

As for dining and shopping, there are plenty of good options within a 20 minute walk. The hotel provides complimentary drop-off services in their BMW house car (7 series) on a first come, first served basis, though I've never had to wait more than a couple of minutes (they must have a couple, at least).

Enjoy your stay at The Pacific Rim! You won't be disappointed!
