Wedgewood Hotel & Spa, Vancouver
The Wedgewood Hotel & Spa is a storied, family-owned boutique gem in the heart of downtown Vancouver. Founded in 1984 by Eleni Skalbania, the hotel was born after she purchased the former Mayfair Apartment Hotel and personally spearheaded its transformation. Eschewing the corporate feel of modern hotels, she redesigned the property to capture the warmth of a European country house, filling the space with her own collection of antiques, tapestries, and custom-commissioned furniture.
The hotel remains a landmark of independent hospitality, holding the distinction of being the city’s only member of the prestigious Relais & Châteaux collection. Its interior is defined by refined elegance, featuring rich dark wood paneling, Persian rugs, and stunning Murano glass light fixtures. A standout feature is that every guest room boasts a private balcony, providing a rare and relaxing outdoor escape directly overlooking the city or the gardens of nearby Robson Square.
Dining at the property is centered around the award-winning Bacchus Restaurant and Piano Lounge, which serves as a glamorous social hub for locals and visitors alike. With its Venetian-inspired decor and a limestone fireplace, it is the perfect spot for traditional afternoon tea or a gourmet dinner.
Its location is unbeatable for those looking to explore. You are just steps away from the Vancouver Art Gallery and the high-end shopping of Robson Street. Whether you are strolling to the scenic waterfront or visiting the iconic nearby Stanley Park, the hotel serves as a sophisticated, tranquil sanctuary amidst the city’s vibrant downtown energy.
Expert reviews
“A member of the exclusive Relais & Châteaux Group, the luxurious, family-owned Wedgewood is all about pampering. Guest rooms are capacious and elegantly decorated, and each has its own balcony.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Vancouver.
“The last word in old-world European-style luxury, the elegant Wedgewood is dripping with top-hatted charm. The friendly staff is second to none, rooms are stuffed with reproduction antiques and the balconies enable you to smirk at the seemingly grubby plebs shuffling past below.”
“This lovely little Relais & Châteaux boutique hotel is one of the city’s most romantic hideaways. From the moment you step in under the navy blue awnings on busy Hornby Street, you’ve entered a completely different world, an elegant one that borders on the baroque, with none of that boring minimalistic restraint.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Vancouver.
“A top-hatted doorman greets those seeking discretion, as well as old-school luxury. In the bustling downtown, it is a pleasant surprise to find what feels like a country-house retreat, where classic decoration is matched by the latest technology. Movers and shakers frequent the restaurant and bar.”

Plan to make this a regular experience!
Beautiful old-world style hotel. The mist stellar part, though, was the outstandingly helpful and kind staff.

Highly recommend this hotel. Location, ambience, staff and luxury all combined for a perfect stay.
The best hotel I have stayed in. From check in to drinks, everything was superb and seamless. The room was incredible, large, clean, beautiful decor and loved the welcome note, waters, biscuits and attention to detail. The staff were incredibly professional but super friendly and so helpful.
Nothing !

Exceptional hotel in every way.
This is an exceptional hotel. During our trip to Canada we stayed in a number of hotels and this was by far the best. Upon arrival greeted for check in by Ryan who unfortunately for us was not working when we checked out. Loved the evening cookies delivered to the room daily. Made our stay in Vancouver memorable.
Perfection, can’t improve on that.

The heart of Vancouver!!
This hotel was a wonderful 5 day retreat for myself and my family. The staff were exceptional, the food was to die for and the cocktails were perfection and the piano player in the lounge every evening was the perfect cherry on top of an already delightful stay.
There is nothing we didn't like about this hotel.

A Luxurious experience- All in one place
Beautifully decorated property and wonderful welcome from staff. The dining room meal was excellent and we enjoyed the ambiance of live piano and singing. Breakfast was also delicious and all staff were friendly and attentive.
It’s really lovely. I cannot think of anything.

Charming hotel with excellent staff and location.
Location, excellent staff and service, cleanliness, dining, charm of property, room size and facilities.
King bed in our room worn and dipped. The concave mattress unfortunately affected my partner’s strained back. The mattress in 603 requires replacement.

A surprising weekend escape which made a one night stay feel like a mini vacation. Felt very welcomed and appreciated.
Many things. For one, the friendliness of the staff and their professionalism. Loved the ambiance. The lounge and restaurant were outstanding with excellent service and wonderful food.
Nothing at all.

So looking forward to returning to Vancouver, and especially a stay at the Wedgewood Hotel & Spa
Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The facilities were top quality and our room was spacious and well equipped. The lobby and bar/restaurant are comfortable and cosy places to relax.
We very much enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay there again when we next return to Vancouver. We highly recommend.

One of the most enjoyable hotel and dining experiences of my life.
Everything about this hotel is top-notch! The staff and service were above and beyond and the dining experience at Bacchus was one of the best I’ve ever encountered.
There isn’t anything negative to say except that I wish we had booked a longer stay. Incredible experience!

An Excellent Hotel
A lovely characterful hotel in a very central location, staff went out of their way to assist with everything. It was very welcoming and cosy.
nothing could have been done better, I don't know if some rooms are quieter than others, it is quite near the hospital and sirens could be heard at times but it didn't bother us.

Luxurious, fabulous service from ALL staff. Beautiful rooms. Skip dinner at the restaurant.
Size of room
Soft furnishings and curtains etc
The doormen
The staff are amazing, they are very happy in role and make the extra effort to remember little details like where you have visited that day and engage with guests. Friendly and professional.
Getting ice delivered to our room
We dined in the formal restaurant for dinner.
The ambiance was great, the service excellent however the food did not make the mark. The prices are not low and we were fine with that for the occasion and comfort, however the food was not as good as other outside restaurants we ate at during our stay.
EG. Short rib meat was not soft and did not fall apart. The potato gratin on my duck meal was hard and dry and overcooked. I felt like there was not enough care in the kitchen to make sure our meals were served in top condition.
I expected much higher standard. We did not raise this on the night as it was our last night in Vancouver before we flew home to NZ and we were sharing the meal with our daughter and partner who live in BC and did not want to ruin the night by complaining.

I have nothing but positive things to say. I was completely satisfied and would happily stay here again.
Everything! The Staff is very gracefull, helpful. They work caressively. The rooms are very well decorated.
Nothing… everything was so rightful. ( may be suggestion: to not charge for the pot of coffees when you need more than three daily. ( 3 are free daily)
The problem is not with my payment. This does not reflect the standards of a five-star hotel.
5 October 2025
I’ll only stay here from now on
Everything
Nothing, it’s the perfect hotel
