"Just to the east of Vancouver’s hip Yaletown district is Parq Vancouver, a mixed-use entertainment and hospitality development right alongside BC Place, the city’s major-league soccer and football stadium. Set in an eye-catching modern glass tower, the Douglas is a luxury hotel with boutique-hotel aspirations, its interiors a mélange of classic modernism and quasi-industrial loft aesthetics. It’s blessed with an expansive spa and fitness center, a generous handful of lively restaurants and bars, and access to the rest of Parq Vancouver, which contains several more restaurants and bars as well as a casino." - Kevin Chau
