The Shangri-La Vancouver is a luxurious sanctuary set between the mountains and the sea on Canada’s west coast. The stunning glass façade rises 62 storeys into the sky, making it the tallest building in the city.
Guests can relax in one of the 119 rooms with Asian-inspired décor and luxurious finishes. The gold-accented interiors are elegant and bright, and there are floor-to-ceiling windows and Asian art and tapestries adorning the walls. Some select suites have balconies.
The impressive in-house restaurant is helmed by three-star Michelin chef Jean-Georges Vongerichtenhis who serves up his signature style of East-West fusion cuisine. The Ginger Juice Bar offers fresh-pressed juice drinks and healthy snacks next to the pool area.
Other facilities include CHI, a spa-within-a-spa concept where each treatment room has its own hot tub, steam room, and relaxation area. There’s also a 24-hour gym, and yoga and Pilates facilities.

Many come with their own balconies to take in the sweeping views of the city, mountains, and harbor. All accommodations are tastefully decorated in a contemporary style with a distinct Asian influence, contrasted with sleek B&B Italia furniture.

Activities
Guests at Shangri-La Vancouver can enjoy an endless array of activities both in and out of the hotel. During the warm summer months, soak up the sunshine by the outdoor pool, sip a smoothie from Ginger Juice Bar, then set out and explore nearby Stanley Park on foot. When the weather cools, stay indoors with a private yoga class, a sauna, or a personalized spa treatment. Or bundle up and hit the slopes at Grouse Mountain, then warm up with steaming hot cocoa from one of the nearby cafés.
Art, culture, food, shopping, and entertainment are all available within minutes of Shangri-La. The only problem will be deciding what exciting activity should be on the agenda each day.
Children
Shangri-La Vancouver is child-friendly. The hotel can provide cribs and rollaway beds for no cost (reservations recommended). Children get milk and cookies upon arrival and babysitting can be arranged at a cost.
The Shangri-La Vancouver was built with guidance from a Feng Shui master and blessed from the roof to foundations by monks which alone makes it a very special stay.
