Rosewood Hotel Georgia
Vancouver, Canada
Central Vancouver
Vibe
Dark mahogany wall paneling, checkerboard marble floors, and Canadian modern art set an alluring Roaring Twenties scene alive with evening jazz.
“Restored Roaring-Twenties citadel”
Chauffeured house cars, an on-call fragrance butler, proactive concierges, and Italian linens across spacious guest rooms.
A 1927 Georgian Revival landmark that hosted royalty, Elvis Presley, and Katharine Hepburn through Vancouver history.
Roaring Twenties styling with dark mahogany walls, Arabescatto Orobico marble, and curated Canadian modern art.
In downtown Vancouver directly across from the Vancouver Art Gallery, close to Robson Street shopping.
“The hotel’s original elegance has been particularly well-preserved in the polished dark-wood lobby and in the 1927 Lobby Lounge, the retro-inspired cocktail bar...”
Rooms
Calm tones frame tufted headboards and bronze details, complemented by spa-like bathrooms featuring heated marble floors and deep soaking tubs.
“The lobby still retains an Old World feel thanks to wood paneling and Art Deco detailing, but colorful modern art adds a chic…”
Wellness
A 52-foot heated indoor saltwater lap pool anchors the fourth floor alongside holistic bodywork and hydrotherapy treatments at Sense Spa.
“This was a careful, tasteful transformation; the grandeur and history of the hotel was clearly respected, allowing the Georgia to once again assume its place...”
Backstory
Opened in 1927, this Georgian Revival landmark once hosted Katharine Hepburn and Nat King Cole before its careful multi-million-dollar restoration.
“In a Georgian Revival building dating from 1927, the Rosewood Hotel Georgia… is a beauty with plenty of original period details, handsome wood paneling, clean lines”
Eat & drink
Sip cocktails beside a walnut grand piano at 1927 Lounge, or enjoy courtyard dining beneath the retractable roof at Reflections.
“Elvis may have left the building, but the old-school glamour remains—with a modern twist.”
The neighborhood
Standing directly across from the Vancouver Art Gallery, the front steps put luxury shopping on Robson Street and seawall walks within minutes.

The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
