Executive Hotel Le Soleil

Vancouver


One of Vancouver's most stylish boutique towers is lined with classical European furnishings and bold flourishes with a chic, Versace-esque appeal (especially in the golden-hued lobby). Most rooms are compact but elegant (corner units have balconies), and you'll be steps from the center of the downtown action – those on the higher floors will feel loftily far from the bustling streets.

If you don't fancy straying too far from your room, the hotel's lobby-level Copper Chimney restaurant specializes in Indian food and there's a three-course special for hotel guests. If you eat too much, rates also include access to a next-door gym with swimming pool. Overnight parking costs $37.
