Vancouver is at the top of most peoples destination travel plans. Like myself, visitors usually enjoy the mix of urban and coastal living that the city offers. With the winter 2009 Olympics around the corner, the hotels have been stepping it up a notch.

Next month a new hotel will be added to the boutique sector, opening up in the Chinatown area. ‘The Keefer’ offers four guest suites (2,400 sq ft self-catering loft apartments with kitchen, twin bedrooms, private lift access and much much more).

I warn you it’s not going to come cheap. These suites run from $800 - $2,950 CAD per night.
