Talk:Hotel Vancouver

Second Hotel Vancouver
I expanded that bit; and I'll try to dig up a picture or two of the old hotel; and also of the first hotel, which was on the same site but considerably smaller.Skookum1 21:14, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Christ Church Cathedral
I heard from a friend of mine who was studying tourism in Vancouver that there is an underground tunnel from the hotel to Christ Church Cathedral across the street specifically so that the Royal Family can attend service when visiting Vancouver without having to go outside. Is that true? Mithridates 12:54, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

That's not why the tunnel exists, though no doubt it's been handy for that purpose; there is a network of tunnels underneath downtown Vancouver all the way from Carrall & Hastings to about Bute & Georgia, spanning from the harbour as far south as Davie Street; many are steam-delivery tunnels or carry steam conduits; you need a set of keys to navigate the whole network. The Royal Family have stayed at the Georgia also; more often in fact; and no doubt there's a tunnel there, too; which would have had to be maintained in the design of what is now the HSBC building (was Bank of BC, turned Bank of HK, then HSBC) and the "new" Georgia Medical-Dental Building in between. The old courthouse (VAG) also links to other buildings, even before Arthur Erickson sank the new courthouse into the ground on its south side.Skookum1 15:19, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Actually I don't see why either Tipton picture is even here at all; who cares if the Hotel Van's been used as a set for that one particular movie, and ti's only used as an exterior, the actuyal show is shot in Boston, where the first Tipton picture is located - and doesn't belong on this page at all. There have been hundreds of films the Hotel Van has been used in; do we have to have a picture of each one?  Delete delete delete....Skookum1 (talk) 20:58, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Hotel Van
Re this removal:
 * ''It is often referred to by locals simply as "the Hotel Van"

Well, I added that and I've been around considerably longer than 25 years (I'm 54). I'll write Chuck Davis and see if he might have a cite for it; at one time it was a common casual name for this hotel (and its predecessors).Skookum1 (talk) 17:16, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Hotel Vancouver lions?
My father lived in the Hotel Vancouver for a year after the death of his father, an early founding member of Bloedel Donovan, in 1918. He remembered playing on lions at the entrance. Are they still in existence? And is this the hotel? Thank you. Ellen McClure ellen@nutfarm.com 503 538 4606
