DINER: The Rosewood Hotel Georgia Opening Its 4th Floor “Reflections” Lounge On Friday

The Rosewood Hotel Georgia “officially” opens Reflections this Friday, but they aren’t stopping anyone from checking it out in advance. Located in an inner courtyard off of the hotel’s 4th floor, the lounge is open to the sky but protected from the noise of the city.

Rosewood Hotel Georgia is delighted to announce the return of Reflections, an elegant rooftop bar and lounge, in the heart of downtown Vancouver. Located on the hotel’s fourth floor and surrounded by the storied walls of the 85-year-old historic building, the space is vibrant and effortlessly stylish, with a locally-sourced menu, classically-inspired cocktails, exclusive cabanas facing a roaring central firepit and a striking peak-through of the Vancouver skyline.

Opening Friday, April 13, 2012 | 4th Floor, 801 West Georgia |  Mon-Sat at 4pm; closed Sun | Details
