"Know all Case Study homes by heart? Prefer "Googie" to "Google?" Then The Burrard, a no-frills boutique hotel that proudly riffs off its mid-century-modern roots, is the way to go. Built in 1956 and redone in 2010, the 72-room former motor hotel comes by its current branding honestly, from the neon signage to a palm treed courtyard. Like a Tim Burton film, the colors here are unsubtle and vibrant: the lobby has teal walls with matching Eames rocking chairs, and the outside corridors have a palette of greens, blues, and sunshine yellows." - Guy Saddy
