HOTEL INFORMATION

In order to avoid a per person charge, all dancers and families must stay within the Irish Dance NAIDC block. If they are not housed within the block, there is a $130 fee per person assessed at the door of the competition in order to help pay for the convention booking. To date there are thirteen hotels to choose from for reservations. Most hotels have the usual conveniences for wi-fi although peculiar to Canadian hotels, there are few double bedrooms as the standard size room is typically smaller than rooms found in the United States.

TRANSPORTATION INFORMATION

Vancouver is reputed to be an excellent walking city with many places to explore. Getting to and from the airport is also easy with public rail being the cheapest alternative. There are readily available car rentals and water taxis as well.
