Wedgewood Hotel

Rated this place:

845 Hornby Street, Vancouver, BC, V6Z1V1

Wedgewood boutique hotel: One needs to experience the fine art of indulgence!!!! This hotel offers impeccable service at every step, beautiful rooms with full balconies, romantic views of the city and mountains, giant, 4-poster beds, tubs built for 2, robes, slippers, an eucalyptus steam room, and state-of-the-art dining at Bacchus. It's an ideal, one-night retreat for a romantic night away from it all, but close to home. Prices, too, are incredible value. For best results, go with someone you really like, and linger.

Blue fig martini: It's the coolest cocktail around, to be slowly sipped and enjoyed in equally cool environs. Imagine icy-cold, frozen-fig infused vodka, served with a tiny side of fromage bleu (isn't french sophistocated?). Your server (ours was divine!) will advise you to alternate sips with tiny spoonfuls, and the flavors are so complementary. Cocktails average between $9 and 11, and the place isn't cheap, but well worth the expense for a decadent night out with friends. Ask about the Earl Grey martini! Mmm.
