"I found it understated yet stylish, ideal for travelers who prefer a quieter, more home-like luxury rather than flashy, see-and-be-seen energy. The rooms feel unpretentious but include luxury comforts like high thread-count sheets, custom slippers, soaking tubs, rainfall showers, a pillow menu, and even the smallest rooms feel spacious at about 400 square feet; design is minimal but textured with soft fabrics and flattering lighting." - Bianca Bujan
"Many hotels in Vancouver can boast breathtaking views — this town is nothing if not topographically gifted. However, the district of Coal Harbour on the north edge of downtown has a slight edge on the rest. Think of it as stadium seating for the panorama that unfolds across the Burrard Inlet. Coal Harbour itself is a tony spot well worth an evening stroll; recently redeveloped with parks and a marina, the neighborhood boasts a sophisticated collection of towers with a level of design not commonly found in North American cities, and in one of these sleek glass towers you’ll find the Loden Hotel." - Kevin Chau
"Vancouver's bustling waterfront is reflected in the facade of this 15-story hotel made of glass, stone, and copper. Rooms feel like home and are done in caramels and corals, with floor-to-ceiling windows, Dornbracht Philippe Starck fixtures, and marble bathrooms with soaker tubs and rain showers. Tableau Bar Bistro serves up a fantastic French menu with dishes like tuna niçoise, rabbit terrine, and boeuf bourguignon. Four-legged friends are welcomed with their own set of amenities, including doggie beds and freshly baked dog biscuits."

"A family-owned, residential-feeling boutique between Coal Harbour and the West End, this quietly chic hotel appeals to film and business travelers who want comfort and discretion. The intimate lobby—with a fireplace and low velvet sofas—sets a cozy tone for 77 well-appointed rooms that feature deep soaking tubs, electronic panels to control temperature and music, a handy bench by the door, dark granite bathrooms, plush bathrobes, and Moulton Brown toiletries. Despite sitting between the busy business district and quieter residential areas, rooms are exceptionally quiet thanks to double-paned windows and heavy curtains, and complimentary bikes make a morning ride along the Stanley Park seawall practically obligatory." - Ann Shields
