Reimagined meeting spaces up and down the West Coast
Let’s face it: the West Coast is a big region; but the style you’ll find from sunny SoCal to vibrant Vancouver is unmatched, all along the way. From sun-filled open spaces along the San Diego Bay to elegant wooden-paneled corridors in Vancouver, your meetings will have a direct ticket to a sense of place, whether you meet in beautiful British Columbia, fun-filled Seattle or upscale San Diego.
The Hollywood of British Columbia
Rosewood Hotel Georgia reopens following a five-month renovation with reimagined accommodations and brand new culinary concepts centered around celebrating Vancouver’s dynamic heritage. The historic property celebrates its backstory as a refuge for Hollywood’s elite while incorporating top-notch contemporary features.
Its exciting F&B renovations include a revival of the Lobby and 1927 Lounge as well as the opening of brand new outlet The Georgia Bar, which features a custom Fazioli Pianoforte Model F183 Art Case Edition and pays homage to the iconic personalities that once walked through the hotel.
The 156 guest rooms and suites underwent a redesign led by New York-based design firm Lillian Wu Studio. Reimagined to reflect refined comfort and sophistication, rooms feature thoughtful details like leather-wrapped accessories, plush tufted headboards and hand-blown glass fixtures.
Rosewood’s A Sense of Place® philosophy brings in nods to the property’s Vancouver location, with curated artworks from a local gallery and standout pieces including silver leaf-painted glass resembling Pacific Dogwood, British Columbia’s provincial flower.
With over 11,000 sq. ft. of meeting and event space, plus new experiential programming, such as the bookable Master Class led by the property’s talented F&B team, meetings and events onsite are in for a treat.
