Opus Hotel, in the heart of Vancouver’s fashionable Yaletown, is a short walk to the inner harbour, outdoor recreation and Vancouver’s best restaurants, spas and shops.  This hip, luxury boutique hotel is home of the modern French bistro Elixir where the chefs take ingenious advantage of the abundance of local fish and produce. The dramatic Opus Bar draws savvy locals, interesting guests and visiting celebs and keeps them happy with the latest in mixology.

The décor is fun and free-spirited with bold colours, spa bathrooms and many personal touches. Each room is inspired by one of five characters representing the hotel’s typical guests. If you’re like “Susan”, a stylish and sophisticated fashionista from Toronto, you’ll want to book the contemporary blue room with its clean lines and modern touches. If you’re more like “Dede”, the glamourous Hollywood actress, you’ll luxuriate in the animal-print fabrics and tactile ambiance of the penthouse suite. Whichever style is you, a central theme of the décor throughout is cheekiness and whimsy (evidenced most clearly by the floor to ceiling windows that frame the spa-like bathtubs in many of the suites).

For the young, hip and glamorous couple who want to be in the centre of it all, Opus hits all the right marks. If you want to see Vancouver from an insider’s vantage point, you cannot do better than book a room at the Opus.
