A new boutique hotel is headed to Vancouver’s downtown core.

Opening in 2029, Le Germain Hotel – a collaboration between Germain Hotels and Reliance Properties – will transform an existing office building into a 180-room boutique property in the sought-after Coal Harbour neighbourhood, just steps from the Vancouver Convention centre.

This collaboration marks a significant milestone for the two family-owned Canadian businesses. Said Hugo Germain, Vice-President, Operations at Germain Hotels:

“Expanding into Vancouver is a major milestone for our company. As a family-owned Canadian business, we are deeply committed to creating meaningful projects that leave a lasting impact. Vancouver is a dynamic city with a bright future, and we are thrilled to invest here in partnership with Reliance Properties, a company that shares our values and passion for excellence. Together, we will bring to life an address that exemplifies our vision for refined hospitality and iconic design.”

Jon Stovell, President and CEO of Reliance Properties, also emphasized the importance of the partnership and its potential to reshape Vancouver’s hospitality sector. “This hotel will not only elevate Vancouver’s boutique hospitality scene but will also play a pivotal role in addressing the city’s critical shortage of hotel rooms. Both of our families have deep roots in the Canadian business community, and this project reflects our shared commitment to building a strong, prosperous future for Vancouver,” said Stovell.

With this new addition, Germain Hotels expands its presence across Canada, now operating in 12 cities. The Vancouver project will be the 22nd property in the company’s portfolio and the 9th under the Le Germain Hotel banner, following the recent announcement of Le Germain Hotel Casino de Montréal.
