OFF-SITE ACTIVITIES

Metropolis at Metrotown
Includes a Multiplex theatre and 450 retails stores, and is only 20 minutes from
the Hotel via the skytrain.
Within a 30-minute drive of the Hotel
Chan Centre for the Performing Arts
Since its opening in the spring of 1997, the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts
has earned an international reputation for its design and acoustics. Located on
the University of British Columbia's campus, this cylindrical, multi-faceted facility
has become a well-known landmark. It offers a variety of events, year round
– from opera to jazz to world music.
A 50-minute Drive and boat ride
Bowen Island
Off the coast of Vancouver, there are many beautiful secluded islands. For a
wonderful half-day trip, Bowen Island can be reached in a half-hour ferry trip.
There are only three main roads on Bowen Island, all branching out from Snug
Cove, so how you spend your day depends on whether you are travelling by car,
bike or foot.You can drive or bike to Killarney Lake, but the 75-minute trail around
the lake is only for hikers. The boardwalk that crosses a marsh at one end is an
excellent vantage point to view mink, grouse, ravens, eagles, herons, cormorants
and deer. Fabulous sea-kayaking is also available at Bowen Island Sea Kayaking,
where one can explore 37 kilometres (23 miles) of coastline and many nearby
islands. Mount Gardiner is Bowen's highest point and the view of surrounding
islands and the Lions peaks are well worth the all-day hike. A number of local
artists, such as Sam Black, open their studios to the public and this can make for
a pleasant tour. See the Concierge for further details.

Sound, Seattle capitalises on its unique position, offering urban sophistication in a
stunning natural environment. This emerald gem bustles with eclectic
neighbourhoods, a vibrant waterfront, extensive green space for walking or biking
and an active cultural community. Birthplace to several well-known coffee
establishments, Seattle is still a Mecca for coffee lovers, with hundreds of
independent cafés dotted throughout the city. Pike Place Market, one of the
oldest farmers’ markets in the country, hints at the culinary leanings of the city,
which are echoed in a strong restaurant scene that showcases the bounty of the
Pacific Northwest.
