This 119-room high-rise seamlessly fuses Eastern and Western sensibilities. The main lobby, with its starlike crystal chandeliers, is sobered by clusters of low-back leather sofas and carved screens. Check-in is done in-room, and exceptional service, too, reflects the company's Asian roots. Rooms are comfortable cocoons: Earthy hues are accented by dark-wood paneling and tapestry wall hangings, while floor-to-ceiling windows look out on the downtown's glass towers. A buzzy lobby lounge serves tasty small-plate dishes along with Okanagan Valley wines, while the marquee restaurant, Market—an outpost of chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten's Paris original—is a glamorous addition to the city's sophisticated dining scene.
When to go: Spring or summer to enjoy the freshly primped city before the 2010 Olympics.
Which room to book: A one-bedroom suite with a private balcony overlooking Georgia Street's promenade and, in the distance, Stanley Park.
