Inn At The Quay, Lana Berar

Sublime style meets divine comfort at New Westminster’s most intimate luxe hotel. Inn at the Quay went all-out glam this winter with a fresh palette of funky fuchsia, cool aquamarine and rich indigo. Revel in little luxuries you’ll soon find you cannot live without: cheeky chairs and sofas with South Beach soul, spa-inspired guest baths, riverfront balconies in guestrooms, swanky wine flight nights and more. You can rendezvous in inspiring meeting rooms with water views. Savour local seafood at The Boathouse restaurant. Or hop on the SkyTrain, and an easy 30-minute ride puts you smack in the middle of downtown Vancouver action.

 

Go ahead. Drape yourself across an elegant chaise lounge or armless slipper chair. Ponder the modern art piece that has become your bed’s headboard. These sumptuous guestrooms are meant to be savoured. While you’re at it, dock your iPod and brew yourself some Starbucks. In the guest bath, fluffy white bathrobes, NYC’s Cutler Salon products, teal sea glass accents and organic finishes transform the space into a sleek spa-like oasis.

 

From New Westminster, the urban buzz of Vancouver is just within reach. A hassle-free 30-minute ride on the SkyTrain transit, which stops outside the hotel, whisks you into downtown Vancouver for less than $3. But lots of guests prefer to stick around the Quay and explore the two-mile waterfront boardwalk, shops and restaurants in this charming part of town.

 

Crave this: Fresh, locally caught Miso Crusted Halibut or Three Mustard Wild Salmon paired with a BC wine. The Boathouse, a beloved Vancouver area seafood restaurant, is just down the hall from the hotel living room. Lucky you. Dine alfresco on the riverfront patio, eat inside at an elegantly appointed table, or give yourself permission to order room service often.

 

Being only minutes from downtown Vancouver via car or the Skytrain, it's easy to enjoy a world of famous attractions including Science World, Metrotown, GM Place and fabulous shopping on Robson Street. Even nearer Starlight Casino, Paddlewheeler Riverboat Adventure Tours, dozens of eclectic shops and restaurants and much more are ready to be enjoyed.
