Spread across 15 floors of the tallest building in Vancouver, the Shangri-La combines sleek, west coast design with traditional Asian accents reflecting the brands heritage. There are only 2 Shangri La’s in North America (the other is in Toronto).   Opened in 2009, this Forbes 5-star property was designed by B+H as an urban hideaway.
