"I was impressed by the bold, entertainment-resort scale of this Parq Vancouver property — the gleaming copper exterior stands out and the mirrored elevator up to the sixth-floor check-in is memorable. The reception features a striking, horizontally set hollowed Douglas fir log with light emanating from inside, and rooms range from unique to over-the-top: for example, Level 17’s The Den is a 2,200-square-foot bi-level aerie with an oversized round sofa, a pool table, and a floating concrete staircase leading to two bedrooms and a spa-like bath." - Bianca Bujan
"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
"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
