the DOUGLAS, an Autograph Collection Hotel

Conceptualized by Rob Wells from SixteenFifty Creative Intelligence, and designed by Toronto-born Vincent Celano, the DOUGLAS joins the diverse and dynamic portfolio of more than 100 Autograph Collection Hotels around the world - all independent, one-of-a-kind hotels that champion values of vision, design and craft. The hotel is a carefully curated space that invites locals and visitors to reflect, relax and indulge in a wealth of amenities that promote the growth of body and mind. The timeless retreat crafts a welcoming, inspiring environment that combines raw nature with urban sophistication – a purposeful design that achieves a balanced dialogue between nature and city.

Named for the original Douglas firs that laid the foundation for Vancouver's thriving economy, the DOUGLAS is rooted in the belief that accommodation has the power to enhance health and well-being in each person's life. As guests enter the building, they are welcomed by a living green wall that breathes fresh air into the space. The elegant sixth floor lobby features an eye-catching front desk; a 25-foot replica Douglas fir encased in glass that emits a warming glow. The adjacent D/6 Bar & Lounge features handcrafted cocktails, a hidden lounge and entry to Parq Vancouver's outdoor park featuring more than 200 native pines and 15,000 local plants. The DOUGLAS reconnects visitors with pure nature while catering to their every need.

The hotel houses 178 rooms and 10 suites, including three, two-story lofts on the 16th and 17th floors, all decorated with warm woods and task lighting. In-room amenities include purely natural Aesop products, Douglas fir-infused gin crafted by a nearby distillery and locally sourced refreshments.
