Vancouver blends past, present and future for an incentive experience like no other ~ By Gary Singh

At the Westin Bayshore in Vancouver, Canada, the ghost of legendary eccentric Howard Hughes just might be haunting the Infinity Wall, the largest LED screen in any North American hotel ballroom. Vancouver the city is already an incentive draw, but at the Bayshore, groups will experience a distinctive blend of past, present and future.

Some hotels hand you a key; Keefer House hands you a story.

At the edge of Vancouver’s historic Chinatown, the new Keefer House rises like a modern chapter written against the neighbourhood’s red-brick past. Its matte-black façade, marked by a vibrant heart-shaped mural, signals both contemporary style and community heartbeat, a fitting symbol for a boutique hotel that invites guests to live, learn, and taste the city like a local.
