Here are my three best choices.
The Metropolitan is right downtown next to Pacific Centre Mall. It is a small luxurious boutique hotel. The rooms are well-appointed and dead quiet. No view out the windows. Overall an excellent choice.
The Coast Plaza Hotel has an excellent location just off Denman Street, next to the seawall and Stanley Park and right near dozens of restaurants. It has one and two bedroom suites as well as regular rooms. The suites have a full kitchen, living room, bedroom and one or two bathrooms. Some of the rooms are older, ask for a new renovated room, the older rooms are OK but the renovated rooms are very nice. Not as nice as the Metropolitan but the advantage of having a kitchen makes up for it. Free milk and cookies delivered to your room every night. The oceanview rooms are excellent, a good oceanview room will have a panoramic view including the North Shore, Lion's Gate Bridge, Stanley Park, English Bay and UBC.
The nicest hotel I have ever stayed in is the Fairmont Vancouver Airport Hotel, out of the way but very nice.
