According to the City of Vancouver, over the past decade, the gains from the construction of 1,457 new hotel rooms were erased by 2,562 hotel room conversions and demolitions. This includes the closure of low-end properties such as the Pacific Palisades Hotel (233 rooms), Coast Plaza Hotel (199 rooms), Empire Landmark Hotel (357 rooms), and Quality Inn Downtown (157 rooms).
Of the 23,000 hotel rooms that currently exist in Metro Vancouver, 57% are located within Vancouver. This amounts to 13,925 rooms in the city, down from 15,030 in 2008.
