Old-world European townhouse
Behind navy awnings on Hornby Street, wood wainscoting, Persian rugs, and a carved stone reception desk set a gracious European tone.
“the stately, yet intimate, wood-and-wainscoting lobby… the Wedgewood was conceived of as a European-style small hotel.”

What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
This place is all European-style pomp and old-world elegance, beginning with the antique furnishings, Persian rugs, and carved stone desk of the reception.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Facing Robson Square on Hornby Street, the hotel sits steps from the Vancouver Art Gallery and the boutiques of Alberni Street.
The rooms
Antique furnishings and original oil paintings fill each room, alongside private balconies and marble bathrooms with deep soaking tubs.
The spa
Treatment suites offer Epicuren facials and citrus body scrubs, steps from a eucalyptus steam room.
The gym
Cardio machines and free weights look out through large windows onto the Chelsea Garden Terrace.
Dogs stay too.
Bacchus Restaurant
French recipes highlight Pacific Northwest seafood beneath Venetian glass fixtures and an overhead canvas depicting Bacchus.
The Wedgewood is one of the city’s most beloved independent luxury hotels, and it’s the city’s only Relais & Châteaux property.
At the table
An ornate dark-wood bar serves craft cocktails and vintage cognacs, with open seating for walk-in guests.
How it began
Greek-born hotelier Eleni Skalbania transformed the former Mayfair Apartment Hotel in 1984, creating an independent boutique now run by her daughters.
