Travel Roundup 2009 : Vancouver Chic
Monday, December 14, 2009 at 08:00AM I love, Love, LOVE Vancouver! I enjoyed three fabulous days on the Georgian Court Hotel's ladies only Orchid Floor with Haute Travels and four other "Glam Girl" travelistas. Each room is fitted with all of the girly tools that take up way too much space in your suitcase. Pack more shoes instead and leave your flat iron, yoga mat, Aveda hair products, La Fresh essentials and "ladies emergency kit" up to the Georgian Guest Relations team. Located steps from Robson Street shopping and BC Place, the Georgian is also home to the historic William Tell Restaurant. At 23, Executive Chef Preston Kittle-Jago is the youngest chef in the more than 40 year history of the restaurant, serving up a delicious fusion of Swiss-French and West Coast cuisine.
Dining: Check out the Glowball Group's collection of chic restaurants and lounges. I love the chilled seafood platter over dry ice at Coast and the extensive cocktail menu at George Lounge, the home of award winning Mixologist Shaun Layton.
Shopping: After an amazing lunch at Coast with Media Kitty PR Guru Morgan Somerville, our Glam Girl crew headed to Holt Renfrew. This shopping mecca carries everything a fashionista needs and has a great in-house salon & spa. For a more boutique experience check out Chic Walks for insider info on Vancouver's shopping neighborhoods - Yaletown, Robson, Gastown, Granville Island and more.
