The Blue Horizon is the one hotel in our twenty that prices the cab to the ship for you. It puts Canada Place about 10 blocks away and a taxi there at about C$10 one way, and it parks your car for C$23.95 a day plus taxes — the lowest guest rate printed downtown in our twenty.
All three figures held when we re-read the page on Oct 2, 2026. There's a small indoor pool, a whirlpool and a steam room, and ABODE does brunch.
The garage clears 6'2", there's no breakfast with the room, and nothing says the car can stay while you sail. Our road estimate to the terminal is about 1.5 miles.
Book the C$10 cab for the morning, and measure the car before you drive in.
Book it if
- Budget cruisers with a car
- Dog owners
Look elsewhere if
- You want breakfast included.
- You drive something taller than 6'2".
