BURNABY, B.C.
Starwood Hotels & Resorts announced the opening of Element Vancouver Metrotown, the second Element hotel to open in Canada.
Element Vancouver Metrotown is part of the new Sovereign building, the tallest tower in Burnaby, B.C. Offering ample views of the North Shore Mountains and downtown Vancouver, the new Element features 169 rooms and suites and an atmosphere aiming to fuel balanced lifestyles and active travelers on the move.
Element Vancouver Metrotown joins Element Vaughan Southwest, in the greater Toronto region, and will be followed by the opening of two more Element hotels in Canada next year.
Element Vancouver Metrotown is conveniently located on the northeast corner of Kingsway and Willingdon Avenue within Metropolis at Metrotown, a robust shopping, dining and entertainment complex neighboring the growing Burnaby business district. Burnaby is a 20-minute ride from downtown Vancouver via SkyTrain and convenient to Rogers Arena, BC Place and the Vancouver Convention Centre.
The property features spacious studio guest rooms and suites with a fluid design of modular furniture, swiveling flat-screen televisions, large desks with open shelving and custom-designed closets. Other pluses include complimentary bikes to borrow, a 24-hour fitness center and an indoor saline swimming pool. A 28,000-square-foot gym is also located in the Sovereign Tower.
Glowbal Group’s Trattoria will be opening shortly on site in February, giving guests a casual dining option. The hotel offers more than 6,000 square feet of prime meeting space with modular furnishing, fast & free Wi-Fi throughout and a ChargePoint electric-vehicle charging station.
Element is the first major hotel brand to mandate that all properties pursue the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification for high-performance buildings.
