About · the site

A guide to one building, for one kind of night

False Creek Nights covers a single address: Parq Vancouver at 39 Smithe Street. We started in 2026. We are not the hotel, and we say so on every page.

What we do

We explain how to stay at Parq Vancouver around an event at BC Place or Rogers Arena: which of the two hotels fits, what each room and suite actually is, where to eat at midnight, how to get from the airport, what parking costs on a game day. Then we run a small desk that checks rooms for your dates if you ask.

How we check facts

  1. 1

    Official first

    The resort's own site, the hotels' Marriott pages, the venues' calendars, transit operators and the B.C. government.

  2. 2

    Second sources, labelled

    Opening press from 2017 and Wikipedia, only where the official pages are silent, and marked as such.

  3. 3

    Dated

    Every page lists its sources and the date we read them, currently 31 October 2026.

  4. 4

    Gaps stay gaps

    When a hotel does not publish something, we write that it does not. We do not estimate room sizes or travel times.

What we will not do

Invent guests or quotes. Give star ratings. Publish room prices that will be wrong next week. Promote gambling, bonuses or casino offers. Pretend to be the hotel.

Pictures

The images on this site are illustrations made for us, not photographs of Parq Vancouver. Each one is captioned that way. For real photos, the hotels' own pages are the place to look.

Corrections

Hotels change hours, rename rooms and reprice parking. If you spot something out of date, email hello@falsecreeknights.com with the page and the source, and we will check it and fix it.

Room request · not a booking

Encore: a bed after the show

Tickets for BC Place or Rogers Arena in hand? Send the night and the morning after; we come back with what the JW Marriott and the DOUGLAS have open, so the walk home after the last song is a lift ride.

Ask the desk for a room

This desk belongs to False Creek Nights, not to the hotel. We check what is open for your dates with the hotel's reservations team or a booking partner and answer by email. We never ask for a card, and a request is not a booking.

Got it. The desk answers by email, normally within one business day, with what is open for those nights and the price. Nothing is booked and nothing is charged until you say yes.

How this page is paid for: if a request sent here becomes a confirmed stay, the hotel or the booking partner that completes it pays us a commission. You are never charged by us. Who pays for this site.

Parq Casino is 19+ with ID, as BC law requires; that includes Centre Bar and the lounges on the gaming levels. Gambling Support BC: 1-888-795-6111, free and open 24 hours. Responsible gambling.
