Chesca U.

We stayed here only for the night before driving home from a week stay in banff. It is a very luxurious hotel the architecture and design is very modern. We may want to stay here next time for longer to comment on their amenities and service. We didn't even eat on property so no comment on the on site restaurants. Pros: There is a casino downstairs where you can play slots and table games, minimum bet is 10$ Canadian for craps and 5$ for craps table The bed and sheets were really soft And comfy. The hotel toiletries are Aesop. Which is really nice and luxury. There is a nespresso machine and safe and robe and slippers. Very strict they have a person checking if people coming up the elevators making sure they really stay there. Cons: Parking is expensive and not included in the hotel stay. We payed additional 50$ for 24 hrs. And we also got a parking violation ticket the next day upon checkout despite providing our plate number to the front desk upon check in so I'm not sure why we probably forgot to do something and we're never instructed on how their parking code. The room was loud. We stayed at room 971 where in we can hear loud music from the rooftop bar so we weren't able to take a nap after driving for 9 hrs. It was loud at 4pm maybe their walls our too thin. No ref only a cooler where you need to put ice in it. To store your drinks and food

Excellent service all around! The staff throughout are on point. Room service food is by far the best in room service on all the hotels in have ever been to. Thank you to the staff for all you do here!

I could write a poem to this hotel about how and why I love it. Where do I start? We arrived to a helpful doorman who helped us go to the 6th floor lobby. A lovely gentleman named Eis checked us in. He recognized it was my husband's birthday this month with a little box of chocolates. So thoughtful. We enjoyed a huge room on the 7th floor looking out toward the waterfront. The bed was so comfortable! We never wanted to leave. The decor is based around its name - the Douglas fir. The door is a big gorgeous wood door. Which leads to the big wood headboard. The industrial look of the concrete ceilings is complimented by industrial style lamps, fixtures, and furniture. There is no fridge, a Yeti cooler with ice does the trick. The bathroom is vast. The shower is large. Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash by Aesop are available. No bar soap is available. The towels are big and fluffy. A robe is available too. There are several bars and restaurants inside the hotel or you can go to the casino which can be entered via the hotel. Two have a happy hour that we loved. I can't recommend the sushi enough at the Victor. The hotel is at the Parc Casino. It's easy to get to via boat, train, and plane. We loved the location, did a lot of walking to all the downtown hot spots but the hotel is still in the heart of downtown. It's right next to the Canucks stadium, if you are interested in a hockey match. One stay and you'll be back ten more times!

Flew into Vancouver for a concert and spent 1 night at The Douglas. Great service at check in with a welcome beer and Kombucha. Great staff with a great hipster vibe to the hotel. The room was lovely with a great view of the Cambie Street bridge. Coffee, robe and slippers all available in the room as well as the use of a yeti cooler for a day out. The hotel backs onto BC Place and Roger's Arena so it's a great location for any games, concerts and major events in the city. Yaletown is right outside the door and it's a great community to grab a coffee and stroll through. Close to the waterfront and all the wonderful things the city of Vancouver is known for. The hotel was so quiet so we were able to enjoy a late start in the morning after a late night out. Would highly recommend and hope to be back again soon.

Loved our stay at the Douglas! It's connected to JW Marriott so you can use the JW Marriott gym during the stay. The room was nice and the hotel staff were all so helpful and friendly! We loved that this hotel is pet friendly so we took our dog and they had a bed and treats for him in the room! There is a restaurant in the main floor which turns into a bar/lounge at night with a DJ and music so you can grab drinks and hang out with friends! When we visit Vancouver, we definitely want to stay here again!

We had an unreal time staying here at the Douglas. We had an absolutely amazing stay. The service was super nice and the rooms were incredibly comfortable. The location is great, and there are tons of great restaurants on the property. We definitely would return again.

This is a review based on a 6 night stay from June 23 to July 5, 2022. Pros: -Walking distance close to Creekside Park, the location of the Concord Pacific Dragon Boat festival, which was the main reason for selecting this hotel, which is part of Mariott Bonvoy, allowing me to earn points/free nights. -Walking distance to Costco and lots of restaurants, shops, etc. Very tasty and popular gelato place is next door, bakeries closeby, and convenience store across the street. -Free Kombucha with different flavors, every day upon request. -Nice and professional check in staff at counter, anyone you meet in the lobby or elevator, etc. -Bathroom is beautiful and large. -High quality expensive shampoo, lotions, etc. in bathroom. -Nice bathrobes and 2 of them (one in bathroom, one in closet). -Beautiful, gorgeous, high quality gym with lots of equipment, space, and views, albeit located at adjacent JW Mariott (go to "lobby" on 6th floor, walk across patio area, take elevator up to fitness gym/spa) -Casino is located b/w Douglas and JW Mariott in the same building, as another form of entertainment. -Easy to spot this hotel (bronze shiny)! Cons: -Dark throughout hotel. Little lighting. Dark decor in public bathroom, hallways, etc. -Room is on small side. -My observation: room with two queen beds seemed larger than room with king bed. (I stayed in room with king bed for 4 nights and room with two queen bed for 2 nights.) -No refrigerator in room. -No microwave in room (this would be nice, but not required; many nice hotels do not have microwave). -Little counterspace in bathroom. -No pool, not even a pool at JW Mariott, which shares space. -You get charged for a third adult person (according to making reservations on website).

I love this hotel ! Located at the Parq casino, it's one of 2 hotels on premises. The theme of the hotel is the Douglas Fir, and you can see this throughout, from the front desk, to the unfinished roofing. There is even a "suggested exercise" you can do in your room- standing up on a chair, reaching high like a Douglas fir ( something along those lines ) The visuals it brought to mind ! The front desk staff is excellence! They are polite and helpful, as expected. I loved the bathrooms! The big all glass stand alone shower was awesome. While staying here, you can chose from many places to eat. They also have D6 lounge right by the front lobby, which has excellent boozy pop cycles! Overall it's a great 4 star hotel. Highly recommend it.

This is a great hotel that provides incredible service! I would highly encourage anyone visiting Vancouver to stay here. The service is by far some of the best service I have ever received at a hotel, the amenities included were extensive, and the rooms were suitable for two guests. I will say, check-in being in the sixth floor was a confusing and not communicated well to guests prior to check-in. Otherwise I enjoyed my stay and would encourage other folks visiting Vancouver to stay at this location. It is very walkable to nearby restaurants and also offers some onsite.

See all

The Douglas was the hotel we chose to stay for 2 nights post-cruise, and we could not have made a better choice!

I really like this. Came here for the annual 12X12 exhibit. This is a photgraphy competition, friendly of course, but there are catches., with a new catch for this year's 2012 competition. http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/salt-building-vancouver?select=L_6w9BcDkIY4mFJkwd59SQ#Tauo1LC-G8fbqfxbek4lVA Each competitor must: 1. Take 1 photograph of a theme announced once, every hour on the hour 2. Intepret the announced theme in a single shot 3. 12 shots in total meaning you're on the hunt to interpret a theme each hour for 12 hours. 4. The photograph is on film. Not digital. 5. This year's catch is.... black and white film only. I've come out to this exhibit every year since it's inception. They had it at another venue in previous years, but it was horribly crowded and stuffy. This was a welcomed change, much welcomed. Maybe next year I'll do it. I'll have to dust off one of my film cameras.

What an entirely grand and beautifully restored heritage building. Seeing, and more importantly,…read morebeing able to enjoy spaces like this are rare, especially in cities like ours where there seems to be an overwhelming need to make everything shiny and new. (yes there are foundations in place to protect our heritage buildings, but I'm making sweeping generalizations here) When the Salt Building was first being revitalized during the pre-Olympic building-frenzy era, there was talk of the space being used as a pub or high-end restaurant or some other variation on that theme. Though it may have been entirely acceptable -- and maybe even great -- if that were the case today (and who knows, it may very well be the case in the future), but it almost seems as though that would be a bastardization of this minimal bare-bones structure. The building is gorgeous. Bookended with mammoth-sized windows, allowing plenty of light to pour in throughout the almost 14,000sq foot space, exposing the elaborate timber trusses and metal hardware, and shining of the polished concrete floor, there is not one thing I'd change here. It would be a shame to cover any of it up. A perfect event location, an ideal gathering space, an overwhelmingly stunning surprise in an area that is known for making everything "pretty," the Salt Building is, at this moment, a perfect homage to its historic past.

Mostly they were jewelry and soap/candle shops. What unique this time, they have a leather shop and it was dog friendly event. Pet dog could walking around and that was so cute. This building is so gorgeous. High ceiling makes me feel pleasant even in crowded event.

I have passed by this prominent, very brown, very stately building on Main at 15th SO many times…read more It takes up nearly a city block and is 3 stories high, and has a very imposing clock tower, too! My kid had her high school prom here, and there are often various community events held here, as well as private parties, receptions and weddings. Today I finally got the chance to visit the building, though, as there was a weekend-long artisan fair held here. What a lovely venue! Outside, by the entrance, there is a plaque on the facade declaring this building as a "Heritage Building" (designated as such in 1974). The actual building was built in 1915 and was first used as a post office. For those who care about architectural and design styles, the building is classified as being done in the Beaux Arts Classicism style, with a lot of ornamentation on the sculptured columns and facade's stone. There are many sculpted faces and sandstone festoons visible on the first and second story exterior. Inside, the first floor used to be a grand ballroom, and it was recently re-done (in 2015), so now there is a terrazzo floor, and where once was a huge trompe l'oeil mural is now a blank wall (bummer). There still are beautiful chandeliers and an ethereal ceiling that's reminiscent of calming green-blue sea glass. Today at the artisan fair, there were tables lined up and creating aisles in the ballroom, so the room looked somewhat small. I'd imagine the venue appearing much larger and spatially impressive without all the tables. I was impressed by this building. It was lovely inside and out. The location on Main Street is awesome, too, with tons of parking on Main and the side streets, and so many fun shops, coffee houses and restaurants nearby.

Ironworks is a really lovely venue for music, art, and events…read more The network of rooms, halls, and galleries combine to a moldable space. We attended a wedding here and the set-up worked perfectly. The gallery space, with its stage, was great for dancing and the rowdies. The other halls housed the food, cake, and more subdued folks. Ironworks is run by Astrid Sars who was a very welcoming host. The bar served cheap drinks and the bar staff were friendly and good-natured. All around a great venue to keep in mind for when you want to celebrate.

I came here on the weekend for the VALT (Vancouver Alternative) Fashion Weekend, it was the first…read moretime I had even heard of this venue, so I was pretty stoked to check it out. The place is located down in gastown just on the cusp of the crust, meaning its just inbetween where the crackies meet the Vancouver nitelife, or if you're better with landmarks, kitty corner from the Number 5 Orange. Inside there are lots of old remains of ironworks bringing you industrial steampunk realness, and separate rooms to mingle and drink. Well, at this event there was a beer and wine selection so drink we did! A small glass of red went for $5 which is pretty decent, and they had a table of Geek Sweet Cupcakes for sale as well. YUM! The fashion show was fierce and they had some bands in between which were so-so. What I liked about this space was that there was space for a live band to play with a small stage, and there was also space for a runway (I'm not sure if that was brought in from somewhere else or something the venue rents) but it was pretty cool to have both, plus a separate room with a small bar set up, and a backstage area. What I'm sayin' is that this room is pretty diverse, and there's a lot you can do with it and I like that.
