American walnut paneling and backlit North Shore rainforest photography frame contemporary rooms with marble baths and in-mirror screens.

Bring a swimsuit.
The fifth-floor pool deck is lined with private cabanas and fire pits, steps from a 24-hour fitness center.

Japanese Zen tubs and a eucalyptus steam room sit alongside an outdoor heated relaxation terrace.

Restaurant
Botanist
Lush indoor greenery fills the dining room, where menus focus on local seafood and ingredients foraged across British Columbia.
The 367 guest rooms and suites are sleek and modern, with warm American walnut paneling and backlight photos of the rainforests on Vancouver’s North Shore.
At the table
Bartenders craft experimental drinks beneath the lobby lounge planters, beside a raw bar serving fresh Ocean Wise sushi.
How it began
Unveiled for the 2010 Winter Olympics, the glass tower is encircled by artist Liam Gillick's two-foot-tall poetic facade text.
“The entire lobby level, from its white stone flooring and pillars, to the planter boxes that (barely) separate the lounge from the entrance, drips in understated opulence.”
