This New Year’s Eve, I was lucky to win a great prize package from VancityBuzz that included an overnight at the Sheraton Wall Centre Hotel.
Checking in on a busy New Year’s Eve Day we were treated to a room in the newly renovated North Tower. The unique shape of the building put our room in the ‘point’ of the tower with windows making up two full floor-to-ceiling walls. Standing in the corner with windows all around gives the sense of vertigo, not good for the acrophobic but provides an amazing view over the city across to the mountains.
The new, sleek and modern decor was comfortable with the Sheraton Sweet Sleeper bed being the focal point. Even though the mattress is comfortable enough to spend your entire stay relaxing in bed, there’s plenty of space in the room for work or leisure. The seating area with 32 inch tv and large desk with complimentary wi-fi provide for every need. The bathroom features a big walk-in glass enclosed shower,
The Hotel’s amenities, include a large health club, pool and hot tubs. One Cafe and One Bar are located in the lobby level providing day to night refreshment and dining. One Cafe was a surprise, I had been to One Bar a few times for evening drinks but had no idea that the Cafe behind the Bar was so large, with a big continental breakfast bar or a la carte menu. We enjoyed a nice breakfast overlooking the city before checking out from our New Year’s Eve staycation.
Sheraton Wall Centre Hotel is located at 1088 Burrard Street, Vancouver (at Helmcken St). The South Tower is currently under renovation, the renovated North Tower rooms are open.
