StarwoodGuy: August 2016

I had another short stay at the Vancouver Wall Centre for work. The hotel renovations in the South Tower are almost complete, though the North Tower restaurant and the hotel’s gym could still do with some updates. The city was packed with several cruises and the Rocky Mountaineer train having come into town and many of these groups were staying at the hotel. As always, the staff were excellent and the location could not be beat. The Club Lounge is scheduled to be relocated around July 20th to the split level lounge on the 25th floor, but the offerings and space on the 3rd Floor were good and the staff worked tirelessly to accommodate the large number of guests. I was there over Canada Day and the hotel was a great spot to make the short trek down to the waterfront to see the fireworks. I also had a few walks along the seawall and over to the Aquarium, which I finally joined since I visit so often, in Stanley Park. I opted for the Amtrak train back with great views of the water, pay for Business Class for larger seats and priority boarding. Another great stay and still love the hotel.
