Coast Coal Harbour Hotel
Opening Fall 2009!

Set against the waterways of Coal Harbour and the stunning peaks of the North Shore Mountains is the new Coast Coal Harbour Hotel. Welcoming and spacious, the Coast Coal Harbour Hotel combines city sophistication with West Coast comfort. It’s fresh, it’s modern, and it has Vancouver at its doorstep with the best of everything the city has to offer.

URBAN RETREAT IN DOWNTOWN VANCOUVER
Imagine flying into Coal Harbour from Victoria and checking into your hotel room within minutes of your floatplane landing. In the morning, you can pick up a cappuccino at the local coffee shop on the way to your first meeting of the day. The hotel is near Stanley Park, Gastown, the Vancouver Art Gallery, and Robson Street’s trendy shopping district. And gourmet food market Urban Fare just around the corner.

IT’S ALL IN THE DETAILS
Our new 20-storey hotel has 220 spacious rooms and all the amenities you’ve come to expect from us.
The 5,000 square foot ballroom and conference centre will include 20-foot-high north-facing windows accented by coloured glass creating a bright and airy environment. Private boardrooms, business centre, fully equipped gym, locker room and the landscaped roof deck with an outdoor lap pool and hot tub have been designed with your comfort in mind.

Invite your friends and colleagues to join you in our casual fine dining restaurant serving West Coast cuisine at its freshest. You’ll feel rejuvenated by the vibrant yet serene energy in our contemporary hotel. We’ve thought of everything you need.

^^ Thanks for posting! Thats too bad that this hotel is only 72m tall on a such a piece of prime land. :(

IMO a 400 footer would have fit into the skyline perfectly in this location. Which means a lot coming from someone who still believes Shangri-la is 50 feet too tall.

does this building honestly need its own thread?

Probably not, but I don't know whether it'd be appropriate just under "general updates". Maybe there should be an "other highrises" thread? The Toronto section has threads for every single building, subdivided into forums for high-rises and lowrises, but I guess they have a lot more forumers/posts.

:ohno:
It seems that most of the time things like this need their own threads. People go off in every direction and it seems as if it is hard to stay on topic.
I agree though, I really don't think this one needs it's own thread. But then again, I am new and what do I know???

It's fine, guys......

We don't want to put everything in one thread. Reasons why you think it is unnecessary for its own thread:

1. Almost completed
2. Not updated often enough

What a stumpy disappointment of an infill.

Agreed! What a waste of land.

Not tall enough...

If it's up to me, I would blow this sucker up and replace it with a 300m tower.

I was just walking by this building today and it struck me how utterly invisible it is, and will be. Maybe they wanted it to be "understated" on the outside and fabulous on the inside.

Looks nice but not tall enough...heck it's even shorter than that black building built in the 60's or 70's.
