A really lovely boutique hotel. Chic design, warm, friendly staff, great restaurant, luxurious amenities, and of course a central location in Vancouver's downtown. I want to call out for special mention the staff who accommodated us in the VIP Lounge when our flight was rescheduled. It was much nicer to wait there than at the airport.
One area for improvement: the bathroom sink is too small even as it extends several inches past the edge of the countertop. Water is not contained in that area, and the faux wood cladding shows years of water damage. This is a design problem more than a maintenance problem. Also, I encourage the Loden to dispense with travel-size plastic bottles of shampoo, conditioner, etc., and to embrace more eco-friendly options.
