Yaletown

Artists, hipsters and urban professionals have transformed Vancouver’s former industrial district. Today, Yaletown is a vibrant hub with cocktail lounges, cool little breweries and creative fashion stores.

Yaletown, with its mix of renovated heritage buildings, art spaces and studios in former warehouses and lofty condos, has an upbeat atmosphere and inspiring designs. The Roundhouse, a cultural centre in a historic railway complex, is a great example of this transformation. To get a handle on Yaletown’s diversity, stroll along the old loading docks to find a sunny café terrace or gourmet shop, then check out the nightlife of Hamilton and Mainland streets.
