The Shangri-La Hotel in Vancouver will be officially closing its restaurant, MARKET by Jean-Georges on January 1, 2020, and something new is going to be replacing the upscale third-floor restaurant.

“We are excited to be launching our own concept in 2020, this is a unique opportunity for us to create a restaurant that highlights culinary creativity and everything we love about Vancouver” said Shangri-La’s Executive Chef, Ken Nakano who has been a part of the MARKET by Jean-Georges since 2015.

“Our new restaurant will reflect Shangri-La’s commitment to innovation, meeting evolving needs of today’s travelers while bringing a premium dining experience to locals in Vancouver.”
