Alongside The Douglas, an Autograph Collection Hotel, the JW Marriott is one of two stylish lodging options anchoring the Parq Vancouver—a splashy urban casino resort that made its grand debut in 2017. Don’t be turned off by the rows of noisy slot machines below: The hotel is a surprisingly serene retreat, all neutral tones and clean lines across its 329 rooms and suites. Among James Beard Award–nominated restaurateur Elizabeth Blau’s offerings onsite is The Victor, a Victorian-inspired steakhouse with a focus on the spoils of the Pacific Northwest, where you can indulge in seasonal oysters, chilled seafood towers, and Alberta-raised Wagyu on green leather banquettes that call to mind London’s House of Commons. But the finest seat in the house might be at the Aqua Lounge, the spa’s outdoor pavilion, which offers uninterrupted skyline views from its hydrotherapy tub.
