Independent, Canadian-owned The St. Regis Hotel is a boutique property occupying a heritage building in the heart of Vancouver’s bustling business district.
It originally opened in 1913, but was thoroughly updated during a 2008 overhaul, and thanks to its vintage build, the hotel’s 65 rooms and suites each sport unique layouts.
The common areas of the hotel, such as the hallways and the comfy business center on the main floor, showcase the hotel’s expansive modern art collection.
When you hunger for more than just art, you can easily pop into the hotel’s Gotham Steak House or the St. Regis Bar and Grill for drinks and sustenance.
The hotel staff was helpful and accommodating with everything from directions to recommendations, even offering to book us a bicycle should we be interested in cycling along Vancouver’s lovely waterfront.

Our Inspector's Highlights
- The boutique hotel prides itself on its modern art collection. You’ll spot large abstract paintings at the ends of the hallways, hanging next to the reception desk and dotted throughout the property.
- If you’re coming in from the airport via Vancouver’s convenient Skytrain, you’ll find a stop is mere steps from the hotel’s entrance. You’re also in the heart of the city itself, with Pacific Centre Mall just a block away.
- It’s the little things that put a room over the top, and in this case we were delighted to slide across the heated marble floors in The St. Regis Hotel bathrooms.
- This 100-year-old hotel benefits from having rooms in all different shapes and sizes, thanks to its location in a historic building.
- Your reservation includes complimentary breakfast each morning, and that doesn’t mean a picked-over buffet of stale muffins and soggy eggs. Instead you’ll choose from a menu that promises pancakes, eggs made to order and breakfast pastries for your sweet tooth.
