"A design-forward hotel that brings the British Columbia rain forest into an urban tower, starting with a dramatic 25-foot section of Douglas fir trunk lit behind glass at the front desk. The lumberjack-luxe aesthetic runs through 188 rooms (including 10 uniquely laid-out suites, some bi-level with outdoor space) with dark wood headboards, woolen throws, curvy modern wood furniture, and moody, low-lit corridors. Thoughtful touches include Aesop toiletries and a mini-bar gin infused with Douglas fir, while a clubby lobby-level bar with a secret-bookcase seating area and floor-to-ceiling windows opening onto a shared 30,000-square-foot urban park terrace reinforce the hotel’s forest-meets-city personality." - Ann Shields
