stumbled across this: http://www.8051283.com/wps/mylisting...tingId=6303836

check out the pdf's in the "additional documents" for some various info and whatnot. if you check out the first document, notice the bedroom on the lower right corner of page 6 differs from the floor plan on page 9.

I am hoping they put up something like this.

Soft opening of the hotel just around the corner (next weekend I believe).

Here's a few shots from yesterday:

The glass actually looks a lot better now that it has been cleaned:

Taken on the way back down from Cypress:

(why it pays to have a room near the top):

Damn, I would love to be above the 50th floor on that one. No fair

osirisboy · #**2225** Posted **Jan 18, 2009, 9:41 PM**

that would be really neat. if you lived up top it would be totally sunny but for everyone else in the lower mainland they would be stuck in a cloud.

nice pics, thanks.

I really thought the lobby of the Shangri-La would have been more grand, a good example of a grand entrance is SFU surrey. When going to a 5 star hotel i would expect such a feeling.

A couple more with a bit of fog:

Vancity · #**2228** Posted **Jan 20, 2009, 11:08 PM**

noticed a crane at the top of the Shang-ri La. Are they going to take that thing down?

Canadian Mind · #**2229** Posted **Jan 20, 2009, 11:10 PM**

that's the window washing crane.

i think the new school of thinking is playing the lobby down so the guests are wowed when they get to the room so they put the effort for the wow factor there

Vancity · #**2231** Posted **Jan 20, 2009, 11:14 PM**

too bad they aren't going to put up a shang-ri la logo at the top of the building. that would've been neat

LeftCoaster · #**2232** Posted **Jan 20, 2009, 11:27 PM**

Who says they arent...

IdahoMountainBoy · #**2233** Posted **Jan 20, 2009, 11:41 PM**

I'm dumbfounded. What else could've been done to create a wow factor in the lobby? They have relatively limited space so commodiousness isn't possible.

Metro-One · #**2234** Posted **Jan 21, 2009, 12:02 AM**

It is very easy, you design the lobby in the first place to have space and high ceilings, not very hard. Thats to bad, that is what i love about older buildings is their grand entrances!

jlousa · #**2235** Posted **Jan 21, 2009, 12:24 AM**

Have you seen the completed lobby? Cuz even I haven't
The height of the lobby definetaly isn't lacking.

windscar · #**2236** Posted **Jan 21, 2009, 12:33 AM**

Thats good, if anyone has a pic of the completed lobby and/or a render I would love to see it.

SpongeG · #**2237** Posted **Jan 21, 2009, 12:37 AM**

yeah but if you went to the old hotels the public areas were always grand and the rooms were pretty crappy in comparison its sort of switched these days to being the guest rooms are better - people travel differently and have different needs that didn't exist with the grand old hotels

^ Thats a beautiful shot. One more reason why I love fog. Its by far my favourite "bad" weather.
