The Wedgewood Hotel & Spa

Located in the heart of downtown Vancouer, the beautiful Wedgewood Hotel, one of the city's (if not the country’s) finest boutique hotels. The Hornby Street venue offers 83 well-appointed suites, plus a luxury day spa, private salons, and an award-winning French restaurant, the intimate and refined Bacchus Restaurant & Lounge.

The above may sound like quite an undertaking – especially from such an intimate setting — but the Wedgewood operates with the grace and style of any boutique European establishment (it's a member of the prestigious Relais & Chateaux hotel collective, after all). “What makes the hotel unique are its intimate size and the personal attention we lavish on our guests,” explains co-owner and managing director, Elpie Jackson.

Wedgewood’s emphasis on curating guest experiences is apparent in the details — from knowledgable and friendly front desk staff (who are happy to arrange concert bookings, transportation or ice cream recommendations), to private balconies off each suite (a rarity in Vancouver), to countless personal touches including homemade cookies at each evening’s turndown, climate control features, maid visits twice daily, and more.

“Every day is a different day,” explains Elpie of her staff’s enduring attention to detail. “I love being able to help create memorable and unique visits for our guests,” she says.
