Shangri-La Hotel, Vancouver

This sophisticated urban sanctuary is Vancouver's tallest tower at 700 ft high. Located in downtown it is close to all the bars and restaurants you could desire as well as being in the middle of the high end shopping district. In a city famed for its proximity to nature it's no surprise that the seawall and Harbour Green Park are within 10 minutes' walk. The hotel offers 119 rooms and suites which have been decorated to perfection with distinct Asian touches along with classy interiors and amazing views. The Asian touches don't finish with the decor either, the building was blessed by monks as well as built in accordance with a Feng Shui master. The in house restaurant is Market by Jean Georges Vongerichten and showcases a fusion of East-West Cuisine. The hotel benefits from a 24 hour gym with access to a diminutive outdoor pool and hot tub.
