The Rosewood Hotel Georgia in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia, closed on Jan. 1 to start an extensive renovation and is scheduled to re-open early April. The property's Hawksworth Restaurant and Bel Café will remain open during the project.
The refurbishment will update the lobby, the 1927 Lobby Lounge, accommodations and the Reflections Terrace. The new design will use materials ranging from polished marble and rich dark wood to plush velvet textures that reflect both the coastal city and the surrounding Pacific Northwest landscape. Aligned with the new design, the property’s food and beverage concepts will also be reimagined to celebrate Vancouver’s heritage.
The hotel’s leadership tapped New York City interior designer Lillian Wu and Vancouver-based Ste. Marie Studio, an interior design company with experience in reimagining restaurants.
Lillian Wu Studio is updating all 156 guestrooms, including the property’s 22 suites, juxtaposing light gray tones, patterned furnishings and deep green hues accented by gold fixtures to reflect the historic elements of the property.
Ste. Marie Studio, which will also be spearheading both the 1927 Lobby Lounge and Reflections Terrace renovations, is updating the lobby with marble and velvet green tones that connect both the front desk area and 1927 Lobby Lounge dining space. The lobby will have a rotating line up of entertainment to perform on select nights.
Reflections Terrace, previously a seasonal outpost, will be reimagined to stay open in cooler weather. The space will have light wood and deep green accents and biophilic interior design elements along with a new fully retractable roof.
