"Luxury" is more than just soft sheets and fine dining – it's about personal
touches and one-of-a-kind experiences that discerning clients will be talking
about for years to come
The Luxe Experience
OUT ON THE TOWN
Vancouver's most popular attractions are well known
and widely visited. But behind the scenes, there are
often VIP options that can give your clients a larger-
than-life experience they can't wait to share with their
friends: breakfast with the resident grizzly bears or
a private skating lesson in the fresh alpine air atop
Grouse Mountain, getting up close and personal
with a beluga whale on a Vancouver Aquarium
Animal Encounter, or a private breakfast at the
Vancouver Art Gallery with a personal "before-
hours" tour of the exhibitions led by an industry
professional. For clients looking to get closer to nature,
consider Rockwood Adventures' Coastal Rainforest
Adventure with a gourmet picnic, a Sewell's Marina
"Sea to Tee" excursion combining a sea safari with
a round of golf at the spectacular waterfront Furry
Creek Golf Club, or a culinary kayaking trip through
the Gulf Islands with Edible Canada. Helijet offers
private helicopter charters that easily combine with
many of these exclusive activities to make getting
there a special part of the experience.
BETTER THAN HOME
Vancouver's luxury hotels offer amenities and services for a first-class stay. For
clients seeking a classic luxury feel, look no further than the historic Fairmont
Hotel Vancouver, Rosewood Hotel Georgia or Sutton Place Hotel, while
a modern, Asian-influenced experience and hospitality awaits those staying at
the Shangri-La Hotel (the city's tallest building). The Pan Pacific Vancouver
and Fairmont Waterfront offer an amazing waterfront location, while the
Metropolitan and Four Seasons hotels boast award-winning dining. The
romantic Relais & Chateaux Wedgewood Hotel & Spa and the Armani Casa-
furnished L'Hermitage Hotel offer European-style comfort, while the Fairmont
Pacific Rim offers chic, contemporary style and OPUS Hotel Vancouver boasts
high-tech amenities.
RETAIL THERAPY
Have a client who is looking for something special to
take home? Downtown, especially around Robson and
Alberni streets, are internationally known boutiques
such as Salvatore Ferragamo, Louis Vuitton, Gucci,
Hermès, Chanel and Tiffany's, as well as Canadian
luxury retailers such as Leone, Harry Rosen, Birks
and Holt Renfrew. For the ultimate shopping
experience, your clients can have the help and
professional opinion of a personal shopper at Holt
Renfrew, Harry Rosen or Leone. Further east, Gastown
is home to many independent boutiques featuring top
Canadian designers and the hottest labels – stores like
LYNNsteven, Gentille Alouette, Rowan Sky and men's
boutique Roden Gray.
