Paradox Vancouver

What the classifiers highlight

Housed in a twisting tower by architect Arthur Erickson, Paradox aims for playful over classically formal, its lobby entrance tucked into a back lane rather than the glitzy Georgia Street front. In-room touchpads run blinds, lighting and temperature in several languages, and Mott 32 draws bookings for its Peking duck. A pool table sits in the lounge.
