The Listel Hotel - Bottom Line:
If you like to stay in hotels that have character instead of a cookie-cutter chain hotel feel, the Listel Hotel in downtown Vancouver is worth checking out.
The Listel Hotel is chic and contemporary yet retains warmth and charm in part due to the original art found throughout the hotel. Playful sculptures, interesting lithographs and original oil paintings give the hotel its unique character and visitors something to take pleasure in and ponder during their stay.
In additon, the Listel Hotel is a good "eco-tourist" hotel choice.
