JW Marriott @ Parq Vancouver

39 Smithe Street
Vancouver, BC

With incredible luck, I scored free tickets to see a Canucks game and during that game both W and I won gift certificates to stay at one of the new hotels located at Parq Vancouver!! How awesome was that?!

Because we were able to book 2 rooms, W and I shared one room while I offered the other complimentary stay to my sister. We both booked rooms at the JW Marriott, a luxury hotel with 329 guest rooms, a spa and fitness studio, with views of False Creek and BC Place.

This was our room with 1 king bed and "view" of BC Place LOL... Yes, we were quite literally face-to-face with the side of stadium!

There was a large flat screen TV, a trendy round mirror, and a combination desk-dresser facing the bed.

A nicely presented refreshment area with an Illy espresso machine, assorted teas, bottled water, as well as snacks, chilled drinks and liquor for purchase.

We were quite impressed with all the finishes in the room. The closet had built-in lighting inside while a sliding barn door led to the entrance to the bathroom to minimize its impact to the space.

W and I were surprised that there was just a walk-in shower and no bathtub! We didn't mind since we never soak in the tub. The toilet was located next the shower and also enclosed with frosted glass walls and door.

We were highly impressed with the walk-in shower LOL! There was a rain-head shower AND a shower wand! Fancy~~ haha... The toiletries were high quality too, provided by UK's Molton Brown.

The room that my sister got was upgraded from a king bedroom to a 2 queen bed room on a higher floor so they were treated to a much nicer view looking over False Creek.

Though their room didn't have a lounge sofa like ours, the chairs were still comfy enough to sit and enjoy the pretty view!

From the hallway outside, large picture windows allowed us to see the top of BC Place Stadium! Now this was a view you don't see everyday! We're really lucky to enjoy a complimentary stay at the JW Marriott inside Parq Vancouver! It's indeed a very luxurious and comfortable hotel!
