Vancouver: Vancouver's OPUS Hotel to Get a Pop-Up Restaurant

juliana — 2010-08-23T12:04:22-05:00

We've heard of hotels opening pop-up shops and pop-up spas and even pop-up hotels themselves but this is definitely the first we've ever heard for a pop-up hotel restaurant. And that's just what the OPUS Vancouver Hotel will be installing later this week after shutting down their fine dining restaurant, Elixir Bistro, this past Saturday.

In place of Elixir will be a pop-up restaurant called 100 Days, so-called because it will be open for 100 days.

The new inhabitants of 1OO Days will be stripping the space back to its raw industrial bare bones. The menu style will offer affordable plates with a food quality parallel to that of Elixir.

Montreal: Ou Est Les Beautiful People? At Opus Hotel Montreal

How’s this for priorities? Opus Hotel Montreal chose its location because of proximity to the city’s party zone – the Plateau and club-crammed Boulevard St-Laurent. If you’ve come to Montreal for some bilingual flirting, this is the place.

The Opus is also a prime example of a hotel trend that shows no signs of abating: Nightlife that rivals the rooms. Here, it’s the model-magnet lounge, Koko Bar, which has the whiff of a Miami pool party: Gauzy white curtains, servers in short sleeves, and the kind of designer oddities meant to convey "personality" – in this case, a lime-green runway and...frog statues. And seating is on banquettes (of course it is).

Play "Spot the Celebrity" at Opus Hotel's Elixir Bistro.

You may be out of luck if you're trying to find a vacant hotel in Vancouver during the Olympics, but that doesn't mean you can't party at a hotel. Head to the Opus Hotel in Vancouver’s popular Yaletown ’hood to be in the middle of the post-Games party scene.

If you are looking for stars, plant yourself at the hotel’s Elixir Bistro. Jennifer Aniston and Bradley Cooper both hung in the hotel restaurant when they were recently in town filming, so it’s likely you’ll see other big names here.
