LODEN ON THE LOWDOWN
We relived teenage fantasies yesterday by sneaking into a fancy downtown hotel (OK, so we were accompanied by the PR but don't ruin our reverie) for an advance peek of the haute Loden Vancouver opening to the public on October 18.
With hotel staff abuzz—delivering remote controls, polishing marble, finalizing the menu and—the absolute cutest—bellmen doing role playing games of greeting guests at the curb, the place was a model of efficiency and California style.
We recommend the top floor "Halo" penthouse (for a mere $3,000 a night) with its wrap-around deck, silver wallpaper, and heavenly colour scheme of pale blue, tan and white. Only you get to decide if you'll be an angel or not.
You know what we'd recommend.
Rooms from $239. Loden Vancouver, 1177 Melville St., Vancouver, 877-225-6336, www.lodenvancouver.com
