Gastown
A trendy, hip, history-filled neighbourhood is what would summarize Gastown. Located between Chinatown, Downtown Eastside, Coal Harbour and Central Downtown, is a mesmerizing gem of an area. It has some of the most history in the country and features some of the most rustic and cozy buildings in Vancouver.
One of the main buildings in Gastown is the restored Woodward’s building featuring the ionic W viewable from many parts of Vancouver. Gastown houses contemporary fashion and interior design boutiques, unique restaurants, nightclubs, bars, and tourist related businesses. The hip area is also home to many law firms, architect offices, art galleries, music and art studios, and film and beauty schools.
