The Rosewood Hotel Georgia is a 12-story historic hotel located at 801 West Georgia Street in the city's downtown core of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

History

The Hotel Georgia was built at a cost of $1.5 million^[3] and opened on May 7, 1927; the architects were Robert T. Garrow and John Graham Sr.^[4] It became the first international property of Seattle-based Western Hotels on January 31, 1931, and remained with the chain, later Western International Hotels, until August 1, 1972.^[5]

In 1998, the Hotel Georgia was sold to Vancouver-based Allied Hotel Properties Inc. for $45 million.^[6] They spent a further $10 million renovating the hotel, reopening it as the Crowne Plaza Hotel Georgia in June 1998.^[7] Allied announced plans to develop the adjacent parking lot with a 50-story residential tower, before selling the hotel to Seattle-based Goodman Real Estate Inc. and the Delta Group for $65 million in 2005. The new owners reworked the plans for the tower.

In early 2007, the Crowne Plaza Hotel Georgia closed for restoration work and construction of the tower.^[8] In 2010, Delta Group announced that the luxury Rosewood Hotels & Resorts chain had been selected to manage the hotel.^[9] The hotel reopened on July 10, 2011^[10] as the Rosewood Hotel Georgia.^[11] The hotels rooms were gutted and combined, reducing their number from 320 to 155.^[12] The restoration of the hotel cost $120 million, while the adjacent Private Residences at the Hotel Georgia 48-story glass condominium tower cost a further $400 million to build.^[3] The hotel was sold to Vancouver-based Pacific Reach in 2017 for $145 million.^[13]

The hotel closed for renovations on January 1, 2024,^[14] with plans to reopen in April 2024. Renovations include the refurbishment of the lobby and 1927 Lobby Lounge, as well as the Reflections Terrace, front desk, and rooms and suites.^[15]

The Private Residences at Hotel Georgia

A 48-story, 158.5 metre, high-rise residential building has been constructed on the adjoining site of the hotel's parking structure. It is the 3rd tallest tower in the city, after the Living Shangri-La Tower and the Paradox Hotel and Tower. All three of these developments are new mixed use hotel/residences towers on Georgia Street.^[16]
