It will start construction in summer 2006 with completion in 2009 prior to the 2010 Winter Olympics. Located at the southwest corner of Canada Place Way and Burrard adjacent to the new convention centre, the hotel will include a public plaza for visitors, residents and community to enjoy public-art offerings.
