(Directly From the Press Release.)

Redefined in urban New York style, its $11-million renovation is now complete.

Vancouver’s St. Regis Hotel announces the completion of an $11-million transformation bringing each of its 65 rooms and suites into state-of-the-art comfort and style. The reborn St. Regis is proud to offer just enough hotel, at just the right price, in just the most perfect location.

For more than 95 years, since its opening in 1913, the St. Regis has been part of Vancouver's rapid growth from rough-and-tumble port to international cosmopolitan destination. Inspired by the great hotels of New York, the St. Regis was built in classic Edwardian style by some of the leading architects and builders of the time.

Led by Vancouver design icon Elaine Thorsell, the visionary behind masterpieces like Toronto's Ki and Vancouver's Gotham and Shore Club, the renovations have added a sleek, modern lustre to this authentic Vancouver heritage site. Thorsell's aesthetic is distinctive and sophisticated, and in reshaping the St. Regis she has blended cool neutral colours with dark wood to create a living environment which perfectly balances work and rest needs.

”We're thrilled that this outstanding renovation is complete," says general manager Jeremy Roncoroni.” It has readied the St. Regis to offer superb hospitality, comfort and convenience to business and leisure travellers. The management and staff welcome visitors to join us for a stay that will put St. Regis at the top of your list of stylish, independent, Canadian-owned and operated hotels.”

The St. Regis Hotel seamlessly combines sophisticated heritage style with the intimacy, unique flavour, and personal touch of a boutique hotel. The decor and appointments meticulously blend chic style with contemporary refinement and convenience. All 65 rooms and suites offer state of the art Plug & Play media technology, 32" LCD TVs and fine Italian spa amenity products by Acca Kappa. With a host of premium amenities that include a new business centre, complimentary wireless internet, free local calls and faxes, continental breakfast, in-room single-brew coffee systems, in-room safes, lit magnifying vanity mirrors and keyed floor access, the St. Regis takes care of all the details so that guests can focus on their work at hand. The St. Regis Hotel offers a comprehensive package of five diamond amenities at an uncommonly accessible price point.

In classic big-city hotel style, the St. Regis is centrally located in the heart of the business, dining and retail core. Guests are a short walk from Vancouver's convention centre and financial district and steps away from Holt-Renfrew's flagship store, and Pacific Centre, Vancouver's premier shopping centre. Anducci's on site at street level offers lunch and dinner, with a designated ‘St. Regis Room’ for private parties and events. Next door is Gotham Steakhouse, Vancouver's award-winning home of “tender meats and stiff drinks.” The sumptuous Shore Club is located a few steps on the other direction offering the perfect setting for definitive West Coast combinations of world-class seafood and steaks.

It's rare that historic locations get more relevant as time passes, but the St. Regis defies convention, standing poised for an eventful second century. It is steps from the Granville Skytrain rapid transit station which offers quick, efficient light rail transport throughout Greater Vancouver and, as of 2009, direct access to Vancouver International Airport. Likewise, the St. Regis has partnered with the Steve Nash Health Club, the most advanced and spectacular fitness destination in Canada. This partnership allows guests access to the Club’s 38,500 square feet of unparalleled facilities which located next door, just steps from the hotel.

Located at 602 Dunsmuir Street, The St. Regis is just enough hotel, at just the right price, in just the most perfect location. Opening special rates start at $134. Call 604.681.1135 or visit stregishotel.com for more details and reservations.
