Description: The Sutton Place Hotel is an upscale AAA Five Diamond rated hotel in downtown Vancouver, BC. When I walked into the hotel I was impressed by the elaborate marble flooring in the entrance and by the European designs within the lobby area.
This was my first time staying at this hotel. I really didn’t know what to expect. When we got to our room I calmed down knowing that our stay would be just fine. The room was well-designed and the bathroom was pleasant with a large soaking tub and a separate shower. We did wander down to the pool area but it was a little stuffy feeling so we decided to skip the indoor pool. Otherwise the hotel was very elegant and extremely comfortable.
I was pleased to find out upon check in, that this hotel offered a chocolate buffet on Saturday nights in one of their restaurants. Of course I had to try the chocolate buffet; you can’t tempt me with chocolate and expect me not to show up. We unfortunately had eaten quite a large dinner before hand and weren’t as hungry as we should have been. At any rate we did try just about everything that they had to offer and we were thoroughly satisfied. They even offered a raspberry sorbet that was so refreshing and invigorating that I swear it enticed all of the taste buds in my mouth at once.
This was a fun hotel to stay at because it was situated right next to Robson Street, which is where most of the clothing stores are located. There were plenty of fun places and restaurants to walk to nearby this hotel. Historic Gastown was close by, along with the water front where the cruise ships dock.
Parking is always a problem in the downtown area. The Sutton Place Hotel has a covered valet parking garage but the only drawback is they charge a per night fee for this service. I guess it is better than trying to find parking on the main street though.
This was one of my most relaxing trips ever, I loved my stay here and I will definitely go back for another Saturday night chocolate buffet and for their pleasant comfortable rooms.
