This hotel recently was refurbished and it's a complete WOW now.
From first interaction with the desk clerk, housekeeping, waitstaff in the restaurant, to check out we felt well taken care of - in a spectacular location with wonderful rooms.
We actually stayed in this hotel 2X on this trip.
First time we splurged on a suite with a view straight down False Creek: so very worth it! The views never ceased to impress.
Second time we took a more standard room and while the views weren't as spectacular, the beds, bedding, roominess, furnishings were all excellent.
We only did Happy Hour at the restaurant this time, but we've done brunch in years past. Tasty, again - beautiful views of False Creek, super staff.
Staying here feels like you're in a resort but with beautiful water/city views.
Gorgeous walks around Granville Island & going either direction from GI (which is NOT an Island, just an area jutting out!)
But if you're in downtown? Hop a Water Taxi for jsut a few bux and it zips you right over False Creek. (Tip: If you're staying a few days and there's two of you: buy a book of 10 rides to give you 5 passages!)
