"the DOUGLAS is hard to miss. Part of Parq Vancouver, a massive casino and hotel complex on the edges of Yaletown, this is a purpose built entertainment resort; as such, the gleaming copper structure is unique in the city. Enter the lobby, then take the mind-bending mirrored elevator to the sixth floor check-in. The reception area features a massive, hollowed-out Douglas fir tree, its bark shell set horizontally within a glassed-in desk; light shoots out from inside the log. It’s a stunning, modern, and slick piece of public art." - Guy Saddy
