But as usual, these prices are incredibly high and there isn't any availability for the start of the games. We actually found rooms a little lower at the tail-end of the games from February 19 to 22 from $799 CAD a night for a Loden Signature King. A Loden one-bedroom suite was going for $2,200 a night. The hotel also has some availability on February 15 and

Five Star Alliance has a fabulous rundown of some holiday offers from the hotel. We've pulled a couple of the highlights for you:
