Occupying the lower floors of one of the city's tallest glass towers, the Shangri-La redefined opulent Vancouver sleepovers when it opened. Many of the sleek, contemporary-classic rooms are bright and chic, often with subtle Asian flourishes, while detailing extras include automatic bathroom blinds so you can shower behind the floor-to-ceiling windows without startling passers-by outside.
Service is of the highly attentive, first-name variety and there's also an excellent full-service spa. If you have any money left after splurging on your room, check out the luxury boutiques on adjacent Alberni St, including Prada and Tiffany. Overnight parking is $48.
