The largest private development in British Columbia, Parq Vancouver delivers everything in one place, including a pair of first-to-market hotels, JW Marriott Parq Vancouver and the DOUGLAS, an Autograph Collection Hotel. The former, occupying two towers on the resort's south side, features interiors designed by Ontario-based Studio Munge, 281 guest rooms and 48 luxury suites, and Western Canada's first Spa by JW. Its sister hotel, the DOUGLAS, offers 178 rooms and 10 suites in a “rough luxe” experience that pairs original touch points by Rob Wells of SixteenFifty Creative Intelligence with thoughtful interiors by Vincent Celano of Celano Design Studio.
Both hotels lead visitors to Parq Vancouver's signature attraction, a 30,000 square foot, sixth floor outdoor park featuring more than 200 native pines and 15,000 local plants. Dubbed The Parq, this one-of-a-kind, communal experience offers Instagram-worthy views of the city and surrounding mountains while reconnecting visitors and guests to the wondrous nature that defines British Columbia. At the same time, this elevated green space offsets Parq's carbon footprint, replenishing oxygen and literally breathing back into the city.
Parq Vancouver aims to create an entertainment experience unrivaled in British Columbia with its 72,000-square foot casino, located on the second and third floors of the resort, with games that appeal to players of every skill level. One level above, players sampled the extensive Lotus Whiskey & Tea Lounge, while others experienced the thrills of Parq Vancouver's high limit tables and private salons, four of which feature balconies with views of the city's skyline.
With more than 60,000 square feet of meeting and event space, Parq Vancouver enhances the city's reputation on the international stage while enhancing Vancouver's reputation for first-rate convention hospitality. Its 13 ballrooms, boardrooms, and meeting rooms are easily accessible on the resort's fourth floor, and the 15,604-square-foot Parq Grand Ballroom – the largest in Vancouver – is poised to become a premier location for wedding planners and conventioneers.
The eight restaurants and lounges conceived by Blau + Associates take inspiration from regional and provincial cuisines, as well as the individual travels of Blau and Canteenwalla. Making their way throughout Parq Vancouver, these eclectic assortment of restaurants and lounges include The Victor , Honey Salt, 1886, MRKT East, BC Kitchen, D/6, Lotus Whiskey/Tea Lounge and Centre Bar .
Constructed to meet Gold LEED environmental standards, aligned with the City of Vancouver's Greenest City 2020 Action Plan, Parq Vancouver impresses with its limitless connections to the surrounding city. From the 25-foot replica Douglas fir in the DOUGLAS lobby to the 17th floor outdoor yoga space at Spa by JW.
Parq Vancouver - every experience is both unique to Vancouver and uniquely Vancouver.
