Concierge.com's insider take:
Four Seasons–style service and a great downtown location are the main draws at this 372-room property. The hotel is impeccably maintained, and the staff is ready to assist with just about any request (for example, the kitchen will gladly put together a picnic in a sporty backpack if you plan to hike in Stanley Park). A $20 million renovation completed in 2009 updated the 30-year-old decor: All rooms now include 42-inch flat-screen TVs, iHome radios with iPod docks, and super-plush beds; Wi-Fi is free in all public areas. An impressive sundeck surrounds Vancouver's only year-round indoor/outdoor pool, making it a great spot to laze away a warm day. The Yew Restaurant and Bar, newly renovated with soaring ceilings, a glassed-in private dining room, and a 14-seat communal table, serves Pacific Northwest cuisine and has a talented team of bartenders. Shoppers and culture vultures will appreciate the location: The Vancouver Art Gallery is right across the street and the Pacific Centre Mall is right next door.—Kasey Wilson
