Convenient booking and location
Serenity Therapeutic Massage is located in the heart of Vancouver's medical district on the 12th floor of the Fairmont Medical Building (West Broadway at Willow St) with easy access by car or transit.
We know you're busy so we make it easy to book appointments online anytime through our convenient interactive booking calendar without the need to play phone-tag with a receptionist.
Above-ground pay parking is available in the building but it is often easier (and more economical) to park in one of the nearby buildings (777 or 805 W Broadway) or on the street. Just don't park on W Broadway after 3pm because the city will tow.
