Nice. I actually think it's going to be my favourite once it's done.

Oh it definitely will. I don't understand why Vancouver is the only city that uses clear glass to that extent. I understand that it's for the view or whatever, but it's really unfortunate how a sleek building always gets turned into a post hurricane disaster.

Seriousy, maybe someone could request they install something else other than floppy curtains. (Venetian blinds ..... no ... I give up)
People said the same thing about Shangri-La. It isn't pretty, but it didn't destroy the building. Same thing will happen with The Georgia.

It will be nice when they start putting smart glass, electrochromic glass, or micro blinds in the windows in Condo towers. It could create an interesting effect with a random mix of clear and opaque windows on the side of a building instead of the messy looking blinds problem. (and save heating/cooling costs)
Again, great photos. Thanks.
What I like about ths hotel is that they've modernized the rooms to the hilt, and added a super modern pool area, while the main plazas, open spaces, stair rails, and front desk area all retain their original period charm. It's authentic -and elegant. I don't think anybody anywhere could not call this a truly world-class hotel.

Wow. I checked the old Hotel Georgia out as a possible venue for our wedding back in 2006... didn't think much of the place then, but this is just... wow.
