Tourism BC sent out the following release with news of a chic new hotel and restaurant opening in Vancouver:

“What do you have when you blend a chic boutique hotel with the culinary creativity of an award-winning chef?  Simply the stylish makings of Vancouver’s newest urban retreat. And then some. October marked the official unveiling of the highly-anticipated Loden Vancouver, alongside Voya, its fashionable 80-seat flagship restaurant, helmed by classically-trained Chef Marc-Andre Choquette.

“Complete with a private dining room, Voya evokes the sophisticated feel of a 40s-style eatery with its blend of rich upholsteries, bold patterns, sleek, lacquered tables and crystal chandeliers. Taking its name from the notion that food can prove a journey, or voyage, unto itself, Voya promises clever, seasonal menus and offerings which adhere to both the Green Table and Ocean Wise sustainable programs.  And that’s just the menus. 

“Modern meets nature at this hotel which houses 77 contemporary rooms, lush amenities and a design that mimics the city’s natural beauty; Loden’s curved glass, natural stone and copper exterior are reminiscent of ocean views from BC’s shores.  And should you look to take the experience sky-high, head to one of Loden’s six luxe suites, including the posh 1,600-square-foot penthouse Halo retreat.  A multi-bedroom suite, Halo offers cool calm complete with views, thanks to a lush wrap-around outdoor terrace. 
“Situated in Vancouver’s Coal Harbour, a neighborhood that traces the city’s shoreline, Loden promises a sophisticated blending of styles, tastes and textures.”
