Centrally located on the edge of the city’s West End, Paradox Hotel Vancouver is no ordinary building, as it was designed by a world-renowned Canadian architect and celebrated local luminary, Arthur Erickson. The 69-story tower is Vancouver’s second-tallest building and a landmark on the city’s skyline. The iconic twisting tower is stunning not only on the outside but also on the inside.
The architectural twist rotates each floor to allow every room to have its unique floorplan with distinct views looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows. Paradox Hotel Vancouver rooms capture the city from every angle – with cityscape views of Coal Harbour, Stanley Park and a stunning backdrop of mountains beyond the downtown core.
Paradox breaks the mould of what most think a ‘luxury lifestyle’ hotel would look and feel like. This hotel is a place that is both comfortable and eccentric, with an intimate sense of space and an atmosphere of chance encounters.
Paradox is a bold, modern take on upscale lifestyle and boutique hotel that is pet-friendly and so chic. Think of it as classic but not conservative; sophisticated but unpretentious. Even the carefully curated interiors and exteriors invite immersive experiences.
Upon launching last year, Holborn Group CEO Joo Kim Tiah shared, “Our global teams possess decades of experience and an established network of industry partners, having developed and operated numerous high-profile hotels worldwide. We strive to be at the vanguard of curating inspiring and exceptional experiences for our travellers, so it was imperative to not only come out with our own distinct brand but also create something that would exceed expectations by challenging the industry status quo. We have always wanted to consolidate our hotels, and the time to embark on this meaningful journey is right now.”
The accommodations at Paradox Hotel Vancouver blend urban residential living and sophistication across its 147 stylish guest rooms, 16 bespoke one-bedroom suites, and the crown jewel, Paradox One-Bedroom Suite.
At every turn, staff go above and beyond to deliver more than just white-glove service. Their efforts cultivate an atmosphere of social energy that engages emotions and inspires guests to seek new experiences. Personal touchpoints that express our thoughtful and witty approach to hospitality are woven into the design of the Paradox’s amenities and facilities.
It is not a reach to say that guests from all over the world are drawn to the vibrant spirit of the Paradox and how it has become a playground for curious souls and adventurous travellers. This prime location offers 15,000-square-feet of innovative event spaces, the serene 6,000-square-foot spa Xylia Natural Spa, a fitness centre, an indoor pool, and a sprawling terrace with an oversized hot tub.

MORE THAN A GREAT NIGHT’S SLEEP
With a personal touch that feels more residential than a hotel, each room is a stunningly designed home base for the creative class, metropolitan nomad, and adventure-seeking urbanite. The 147 rooms and suites have stylish modern décor, highlighted by floor-to-ceiling windows that offer welcoming views of the Vancouver skyline. Owing to the hotel’s unique architecture, no two views are alike, but all are spectacular. With nine different room styles, your view and comfort are ensured. The rooms are crafted to be an inviting respite from the urban bustle and envelop guests with sophisticated touches like European oak hardwood floors and oversized beds with custom chrome headboards. The Nublado Italian marble bathrooms have heated floors, rain showers, FIG+YARROW bathroom amenities, and velvety cotton robes.
Each suite has 55 “Samsung flatscreen TVs, Bluetooth alarm clock speakers, and Crestron® multi-lingual touchpads, which put the guest in control of fine-tuning the room’s ambience with automated blinds, roller-shades, lighting, and temperature.
When it is just too difficult to think about getting out of bed, your suite comes with a minibar stocked with premium liquors, wines and light bites sourced from Vancouver’s top snack purveyors. For something more substantial, order in-room dining from Karma Lounge.
Paradox Hotel Vancouver pulls off the rare act of alchemy in blending high luxury with truly relaxed home-away-from-home hospitality. Vancouver is a very versatile city in terms of having both the mountains and the oceans easily accessible within the same day if not hours.
By choosing the Paradox Hotel Vancouver guests and visitors have the best of all worlds at their fingertips.
