We arrived in Vancouver just after lunch and took a taxi to "the Pinnacle hotel" near where the cruise ships go from. After the taxi had left we made our way to reception and tried to check in, we discovered that there are 2 Pinnacle hotels in Vancouver, and our hotel named "Pinnacle at the Pier" is actually in north Vancouver, nowhere near where the cruise ships depart from. Nice naming Pinnacle hotels!
So it was back into another cab and over to our actual hotel. It is in a very nice area and close to the waterfront giving us a brilliant view across to the downtown skyline and the cruise port terminal. The big ship in the photo isn't ours, that won't arrive until tomorrow.
The hotel included a free glass of wine in the bar and we followed that up with one of the prettiest cocktails I've had, called an Empress.
Then we walked around the pretty waterfront area and found a lovely restaurant with great views and had a really lovely meal. It's amazing how a mistake with the hotel can lead to such a nice surprise. We'd never have found this lovely area by ourselves.
Tomorrow we have to take a taxi back to the cruise ship terminal to board our ship: Silver Moon
