About Canada Place
Canada Place is a striking landmark on the shore of Burrard Inlet and defines the look of downtown Vancouver. Originally designed by architect Eberhard Zeidler as the Canadian pavilion for Expo 86, the complex today houses the Vancouver Convention & Exhibition Centre, the Pan Pacific Hotel, and the world's first IMAX theater. As the main cruise terminal for most of the ships that call at Vancouver, it is an important hub for travelers. A section of the Trans Canada Trail also runs right past the building, which makes the spot interesting for hikers as well.

Built for Expo 86 as Canada's exhibit, today the building serves as a cruise ship terminal and the eastern building of Vancouver Convention Centre. It is also the site of an IMAX theatre and the luxurious Pan Pacific Hotel . Walk around the unique sailed structure and take in views of the building itself, Coal Harbour , and the North Shore. It uses white colour with a roof of funky "sails" or "waves", which is a curved triangular shape, that has made it a modern gem.
