Blooming for FIFA World Cup: Inside PARQ – Vancouver’s Most Photogenic Experience

Hey Beauties! There are luxury hotel activations, and then there are the kinds of experiences that inspire an entire camera roll, and remind you why Vancouver continues to shine on the global stage.

Just in time for the FIFA World Cup 2026™, JW Marriott Parq Vancouver and the DOUGLAS, Autograph Collection have partnered with Vancouver-born floral visionaries Fleurs de Villes to unveil Garden of Goals, a limited-edition floral experience that transforms both properties into living works of art through July 9. Even if soccer is not your thing, flowers, luxury design, and beautiful experiences absolutely are.

A Floral Fantasy Inspired by the World’s Biggest Sporting Event

The moment you step into JW Marriott Parq Vancouver, you are greeted by a spectacular three-dimensional floral soccer ball crafted from seasonal blooms and botanicals. It is the kind of installation that instantly has you reaching for your phone.

The beauty continues inside the Executive Lounge, where a six-foot golden trophy-inspired floral sculpture delivers all the drama and grandeur you would expect from a world-class event. Over at the DOUGLAS, Autograph Collection, the property’s iconic living wall has been transformed with a suspended floral design celebrating Canadian soccer in a distinctly Vancouver way.

Created by Aromatears Floral Co. in partnership with Fleurs de Villes, the installations combine fresh flowers, silk florals, moss, succulents, and lush greenery into larger-than-life creations that feel both artistic and immersive.
