“Design wise they are minimal, but not without textures of soft fabrics and tasteful, flattering lighting.”
Where it shines
Notable
Complimentary downtown car drop-offs and deep soaking bathtubs with heated marble floors.

Rooms at the Loden are available in five levels of understated fabulousness, the pinnacle of which is the Halo Suite, which comes complete with wrap-around terrace…
“Be immersed in the city’s natural beauty at The Loden. The hotel is located close to various nature spots in the city—stroll along the marina in the evening or have a morning cycling session in Stanley Park.”
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

Restaurant
Tableau Bar Bistro
Curved leather booths and dark wood paneling set the scene for Parisian bistro dishes and craft cocktails.
The understated, muted interiors, set over five floors in one of the neighbourhood’s glass skyscrapers, provided a natural background to enjoy the topographically-blessed landscape.
How it began
Architects Hewitt and Kwasnicky designed the 14-storey glass tower to offer an intimate, residential alternative to Vancouver's larger downtown hotels.
“The lobby, simultaneously intimate and social, features a fireplace and low velvet sofas along the carpeted path to the reception desk.”
