Vancouver’s most vibrant boutique hotel, the OPUS Hotel Vancouver, is offering a Summer in the City package with a range of activities that celebrate the best of the city’s urban and outdoor experiences—all of which are within walking distance of the hotel. The hotel is located in the heart of the hip Yaletown district of Vancouver.
With sandy beaches and breathtaking mountain views, it’s not hard to see why Vancouver has been named Best City in the Americas five times. Vancouver truly shines in the summer time and the OPUS concierge team has curated a local experience that offers a perfect day in the sun followed by a night to remember in Vancouver’s most vibrant neighborhood, Yaletown.
Guests start their day by hopping aboard the Aquabus for a quick crossing to Granville Island to explore its lively public market, artisan boutiques, galleries, coffee shops, street performances and more before embarking on a two-hour stand-up paddle boarding adventure through the picturesque harbor. The hotel’s award winning culinary team at its La Pentola restaurant will prepare a gourmet lunch to go.
Guests also have at their disposal the hotel’s vintage style cruiser bikes which can be taken out for a spin along the sea wall, which offers nine kilometers of stunning waterfront views and old growth forest surround the perimeter of Stanley Park.
The Summer in the City package includes 2-hour stand up paddle board lesson, round trip aqua bus tickets for two, gourmet packed lunch for two, breakfast for two at La Pentola, complementary bikes and late checkout at 1pm.
The Summer in the City package is available now until September 15, 2014 with rates starting at $399.
OPUS Vancouver is showcased by vibrant design, sophisticated style, and intuitive service bringing contemporary innovation to life. Unveiling refreshed rooms with updated stylings in Spring 2013, the property remains a leader in redefining the boutique hotel experience, located in the heart of Vancouver’s see-and-be-seen neighborhood, Yaletown.
The hotel also offers the city’s newest Italian restaurant, La Pentola della Quercia and dramatic OPUS Bar.
OPUS Hotel Vancouver is recognized as one of Condé Nast Traveler’s Best Hotels in the World, Canada’s Trendiest Hotel and Best in Business Travel and a Top 500 Hotels in the World by Travel + Leisure magazine. For more information visit the hotel’s website or call 866.642.6787.
