More than just a stay - it's an escape into another world
Look, we've spent years perfecting these experiences. Each one's designed to pull you out of the everyday grind and drop you somewhere you won't forget. Whether you're craving mystery, relaxation, or something that'll surprise you - we've got it covered.
Our gothic-themed restaurant isn't just dinner - it's theater. Picture this: cathedral ceilings, candelabras casting shadows across velvet drapes, and a menu that'll make you rethink everything you thought you knew about fine dining. Chef Marcel spent two decades in Europe before landing here, and honestly? The guy's a bit of a mad genius.
Try the Midnight Venison - it's been our signature since we opened. Paired with a wine from our cellar that's older than most buildings in Vancouver. The atmosphere? Dark, moody, intimate. You'll find yourself talking in whispers, not because you have to, but because it just feels right.
The spa's tucked away on the third floor - you'll walk through this dimly lit corridor lined with ancient mirrors and suddenly you're in another realm. Our therapists? They know exactly how to work out those knots you've been carrying around for months.
The signature "Moonlit Ritual" treatment uses oils infused with night-blooming jasmine and volcanic stone massage. Yeah, it sounds fancy, but it genuinely works. One guest told us she slept for 12 hours straight after. Can't promise that, but you'll definitely leave feeling different.
This building's got stories that'll give you chills. Built in 1888 by an eccentric industrialist who was obsessed with Gothic Revival architecture - every gargoyle, every archway, every hidden passage was intentional. Our historian-in-residence, Margaret, leads tours three times a week.
She'll show you the hidden library (yes, there's a secret door), the original ballroom with its hand-painted ceiling, and if you're lucky, she might tell you about the lady in white. Some things you gotta experience yourself though - no spoilers here.
Weddings, corporate gatherings, milestone celebrations - we've hosted 'em all. The Grand Hall can hold up to 150 guests, but honestly? The smaller salons are where the magic happens. Intimate, dramatic, unforgettable.
Our events team works with you to create something that's actually YOU, not some cookie-cutter package. Want a Victorian masquerade? Done. Prefer something more understated but still elegant? We got you. The venue provides the backdrop, you bring the story.
Vancouver's amazing, but it can be overwhelming. Our concierge desk isn't staffed by people reading from a script - these folks actually live here, love here, and know all the spots that don't make it onto tourist maps.
Looking for that underground jazz club? The best ramen spot locals actually go to? A private boat tour that'll blow your mind? They'll hook you up. Consider them your insider connection to the city's hidden gems.
We're minutes from Gastown, and trust me, it hits different at night. Cobblestone streets, steam clock chiming, shadows dancing off brick walls. It's like stepping into a different era - fits perfectly with the Shadowryn vibe.
Most people do Stanley Park during the day. That's cool and all, but evening? The park transforms. We can arrange a guided twilight walk that'll show you why locals consider it sacred ground. Bring a jacket though - ocean breeze gets real.
Yeah, it's touristy, but there's a reason. Fresh seafood, artisan crafts, street performers who'll actually make you stop and watch. Our concierge knows which vendors are worth your time - saves you from wandering aimlessly.
We've partnered with a local captain who runs these intimate sunset cruises. Small groups only, champagne included, and views that'll make you understand why people move here and never leave. Book it. Seriously.
Vancouver changes with the seasons, and so do we. Here's what we're cooking up throughout the year.
December brings our legendary Solstice Soiree. Think masquerade ball meets Victorian winter wonderland. It's become a bit of a Vancouver tradition - book early or you'll miss out.
Cherry blossoms everywhere, and we celebrate with special spa treatments using local botanicals. The city's gorgeous this time of year - perfect for those architecture tours.
Long days mean rooftop dining under the stars. We open the terrace you didn't know we had - secret spot with killer views. Wine, tapas, sunset that lasts forever.
October's our time to shine. Special Halloween programming, ghost story nights, and our chef does this harvest menu that's basically autumn on a plate. Gets atmospheric real quick.
None of the above doing it for you? That's fine - we love a challenge. Tell us what you're dreaming up and we'll make it happen. Proposal planning, anniversary surprises, bucket list moments... we've pulled off some wild stuff over the years.
Had one couple who wanted a midnight picnic in Stanley Park with a violinist. Another guest wanted to learn bartending from our head mixologist. Someone once asked if we could arrange a private viewing at the aquarium. We said yes to all of it. What's your idea?
