The highly anticipated resort, situated on the shores of False Creek in the heart of downtown Vancouver, is anchored by luxury and lifestyle properties: JW Marriott Parq Vancouver and the DOUGLAS, an Autograph Collection Hotel. Each hotel is designed to impress, offering a curated collection of experiences that combine unparalleled luxury with grounding nature.
Surrounded by the beautiful British Columbia coastline and showcasing views of city, ocean and mountains, the hotels are connected by an elevated sixth-floor park, seamlessly integrating the resort into the city skyline.
The DOUGLAS, an Autograph Collection Hotel
Conceptualized by Rob Wells from SixteenFifty Creative Intelligence, and designed by Toronto-born Vincent Celano, the DOUGLAS joins the diverse and dynamic portfolio of more than 100 Autograph Collection Hotels around the world - all independent, one-of-a-kind hotels that champion values of vision, design and craft.
Named for the original Douglas firs that laid the foundation for Vancouver's thriving economy, the DOUGLAS is rooted in the belief that accommodation has the power to enhance health and well-being in each person's life. As guests enter the building, they are welcomed by a living green wall that breathes fresh air into the space. The elegant 6th floor lobby features an eye-catching front desk; a 25-foot replica Douglas fir encased in glass that emits a warming glow.
The DOUGLAS offers 178 rooms and 10 suites, including three two-story lofts on the 16th and 17th floors, all decorated with warm woods and task lighting. In-room amenities include purely natural Aesop products; detoxifying charcoal water; Douglas fir-infused gin crafted by a nearby distillery; and locally sourced refreshments.
JW Marriott Parq Vancouver
Encouraging guests to discover their sense of play, JW Marriott Parq Vancouver delivers sophisticated design, intuitive service and enriching experiences thoughtfully crafted by associates who truly love what they do. The guest arrival path infuses local culture into the entrance experience with a locally-inspired art walk, while a direct connection to Parq Vancouver offers guests seamless access to world-class gaming and dining. Guest rooms are outfitted with residential-style comforts including illy espresso makers and internet-connected TVs.
Just outside the hotel doors, Vancouver's stunning seawall offers running and biking trails inspiring guests to feel like locals. The concierge team is at guests' disposal to suggest memorable destination experiences suited to individual tastes.
"British Columbia is an untapped market for JW Marriott, making Vancouver the ideal setting to introduce this extraordinary luxury brand to the region," said Mitzi Gaskins, Global Brand Leader, JW Marriott & The Luxury Collection. "Vancouver's reputation as a center of health, sports and recreation, as well as a thriving cultural scene, makes it a perfect fit for our guests and we look forward to welcoming travelers and locals alike through our doors this fall."
A Place to Meet
Parq Vancouver's 60,000 square feet of meeting and event space is easily accessed from both hotels. Restricted entirely to the fourth floor, the multipurpose spaces include 13 boardrooms and ballrooms, including the Parq Grand Ballroom - the biggest hotel ballroom in Vancouver at 15,604 square feet.
Spa by JW
The Spa by JW experience is anchored by a myriad of personalized signature treatments focused on delivering four distinctive benefits: Calm, Indulge, Invigorate and Renew. The adjacent outdoor Aqua Lounge offers an al fresco yoga space among a quiet haven and invites guests to relax in a hydrotherapy tub surrounded by views of the park, mountains and ocean.
Bringing People Together
A premier luxury resort unique to Vancouver and uniquely Vancouver, Parq Vancouver is a leading entertainment destination enveloped in the vibrant pulse of the city. The resort offers two levels of world-class gaming, a stunning rooftop park for all seasons, and eight restaurant and lounge concepts conceived by James Beard Award-nominated restaurateursElizabeth Blau and Chef Kim Canteenwalla, all combining seamlessly to offer guests a transformative experience.
