"Landed at the fifth place on the list of the Best Hotels in Canada by the US News in 2020, Wedgewood is an award-winning hotel that sits amidst the gardens and waterfalls of the vibrant neighborhood of Robson Square. Inheriting a particular style of a European boutique hotel, Wedgewood Hotel & Spa welcomes you with a cozy, awe-inspiring lobby made of solid wood wainscoting. The lobby puts on a contemplative setting with dark-shaded walls, furnishings, and floral-accent rug well lit up by the elaborate chandelier."

"The vibe: A haven in the heart of downtown, The Wedgewood is a Vancouver institution. The city’s only Relais & Châteaux property, it has been family-owned for over three generations, which is becoming a real rarity in our corporate world. Original owner Eleni Skalbania personally decorated the property with antique art and Murano chandeliers from her world travels, and her two daughters (the current owners) keep the aesthetic updated for a 21st-century crowd."

Entrance is free but the museum is only open to the public on Saturdays by appointment."

"A post shared by Mijune Pak (@mijunepak) on Aug 9, 2019 at 8:11pm PDT. Named after the location of New York’s very first Chinese convenience store, Mott 32 is a celebration of Hong Kong culture. The food is contemporary yet still gives homage to traditional Cantonese and Sichuan cooking."

"But locals sometimes grumble about high prices at the more upmarket stands – which makes cash-only Hamburger 2.85 (corner of Granville Street and West Pender Street) a breath of meaty, fresh air. Named after the price of its staple offering, expect peak-time line-ups for its teriyaki-sauced patties, crispy lettuce, thick tomato slices and toasted buns – the kind of burgers that put rubbery fast-food versions to shame."

"Burger $2.85--which rebranded a couple of years ago as Wakwak Burger--is definitely a Vancouver street food gem. From classic burgers with their special sauce to things like crispy chicken burgers and their sides of fries, it’s no wonder Wakwak Burger always ends up on many a local’s guide for the best cheap eats."

"A post shared by Josh Tan (@jkyletan) on Jul 22, 2015 at 6:12pm PDT. Wakwak burger sells not one, not two, but several of the burgers on their menu for $2.85. And we’re not talking about a sad burger that’s a bun and done, no, it’s got all the size, toppings, and flavour to be a serious contender."

"Located on a pier in Coal Harbour, Lift might just have the best views on this entire list. Pacific Northwest cuisine dominates the menu, and their happy hour features buck a shuck oysters.
