Nestled at the foot of a breathtaking panorama of snow capped peaks on British Columbia's rugged west coast lies Vancouver - a city known for its culture, charm and beauty. And if Vancouver is an oyster, a deluxe new hotel has become its pearl. Introducing Le Soleil, a 119-room luxury boutique hotel, situated in the heart of Vancouver's downtown financial, shopping and business districts.
Recreation:
In the lobby, guests are greeted by 30-foot-high vaulted and guilded ceilings, crystal chandeliers, fluted columns and Louis XVI style furniture imported from Sedital, Italy. Le Soleil differentiates itself with a unique mixture of stylish sophistication and old world elegance. The decor is sumptuously appointed with artwork, furniture and fabric hand picked from the finest local and European artisans. From the satin covered sofas to the sprawling Italian marble, it's clear that no expense was spared to create an ambiance that whisks guests back to another era.
Meaning "The Sun" in French, Le Soleil is aptly named; as every guest's reception is warm, friendly and completely unpretentious. But the impeccable service of the hotel staff is just the beginning. Le Soleil's knowledgeable and discrete concierge can arrange for everything from a butler and shopping assistance, to private trainer and masseuse. Hotel services also include room service, laundry and dry-cleaning service, shoe shine, valet parking and an executive boardroom.
While fine dining establishments abound in Vancouver, one only has to travel downstairs to Oritalia, Le Soleil's own two-story restaurant for a premiere dining experience. An ideal place to entertain guests, Oritalia blends Tuscan inspired architecture with Asian decor for a truly unique place to enjoy haute cuisine. Warm colors, chandeliers and a dramatic wall sculpture complete the effect, creating a feast for all the senses. Oritalia's luxury comfort food menu features a wide variety of selections. Choose from creative salads, local seafood and spectacular meat entrees. Whether it's to catch a glimpse of a celebrity or just to rub shoulders with the power elite, Oritalia is the place to be.
Rooms:
Furniture pieces in all the rooms are custom-designed in the "Biedermeier" style with a rich, maple finish. Bedrooms are lavishly appointed with silk brocade coverlets, feather pillows, down duvets and plush combed cotton bed sheets. Bathrooms are extensively tiled in the finest marble and come with an impressive array of Aveda Body Care products. Guest suites feature all the conveniences expected by today's travel connoisseur. In addition to two-line speakerphone with data port, Internet and TV, guests are provided with bathrobes, hair dryer, an electronic safe, a cordless bedside phone, iron and ironing board and an umbrella.
