Expectations Exceeded


I had the amazing good fortune to stay at the Rosewood Hotel Georgia during my recent stay in Vancouver.

The hotel opened mid-July of last year after a series of (not unusual) delays, and its much-anticipated "underground" club, Prohibition is yet to be unveiled.  Everything else is up and running - beautifully!  From the cosy 1927 Lobby Lounge to the fine dining restaurant Hawksworth - named for local chef made good, David Hawksworth -  to the saltwater lap pool, heated bathroom floors, and friendly, attentive service - my only regret was that I couldn't stay longer!


The Hotel Georgia's largest meeting room, the gorgeous 2,673 sq.ft. Spanish Ballroom accommodates 165 people classroom, or 200 in rounds.

Located across from the Vancouver Art Gallery on one side, and from the Four Seasons Vancouver and Pacific Centre Mall, the Hotel Georgia is just a short walk to the Vancouver City Centre train station where you can easily catch the Canada Line to YVR airport - or for a real indulgence, have the hotel's driver, Jim, take you where you need to go in the Bentley!
