Among the numerous critic reviews comes one from Forbes that describes the hotel’s stylish offerings.

“One block from the waterfront downtown, this deluxe tower mixes Asian and west coast elements, and offers an extensive art program, plenty of high-tech amenities and several stylish restaurants and lounges that attract travelers and locals,” says the review.

The second-best hotel in Canada also hails from Vancouver, with the Rosewood Hotel Georgia coming in at #2.
