the DOUGLAS, Autograph Collection
Stadium District, Parq Vancouver; Vancouver, Canada
The DOUGLAS gives Vancouver’s stadium district a hotel with a clear relationship to the Pacific Northwest landscape. Contemporary rooms incorporate local art, while the design draws on Douglas firs and the meeting of nature with urban industry. The rooftop park is a particularly distinctive shared space, bringing planted outdoor surroundings into the larger Parq complex. D/6 provides a social lounge setting, and The Victor focuses on seafood and steak for guests planning a more substantial meal. BC Place and Rogers Arena are nearby, making the hotel especially convenient for sporting events and concerts. Pet-friendly accommodation and individually conceived larger suites broaden the offer beyond a simple event-night stay. The appeal is the combination of expressive design and a lively location. It suits travellers who want their hotel to participate in Vancouver’s entertainment scene, while retaining enough material character and outdoor space to feel connected with the natural setting that defines the wider city.
