Staying at Parq Vancouver
Parq occupies a single block at 39 Smithe Street, between the Yaletown and Gastown neighbourhoods and next to BC Place stadium. It opened in September 2017 as two connected hotels: the JW Marriott, with roughly 280 to 330 rooms including a two-floor villa suite, and the DOUGLAS, an Autograph Collection property with 188 rooms aimed at a slightly more design-forward, independent-minded guest. Both share Parq's eight restaurants and lounges — including The Victor, a rooftop room overlooking False Creek — a Spa by JW, and a 30,000-square-foot outdoor park on the sixth floor planted with Douglas firs and local species.
Convention business runs through more than 60,000 square feet of event space, including the city's largest hotel ballroom, so the property fills with both conference guests and locals out for an evening. Everything downtown — the seawall, Gastown's older brick blocks, Yaletown's restaurant strip — is a short walk away.
