<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/3873/Opus_Hotel_Vancouver.jpg" class="top"> The Vancouver Pride Parade might only happen on August 2, but the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Opus+Hotel/ian/199510">Opus Hotel</a> in Vancouver has Pride-related deals happening for much longer how festive!The Pride 2009 Package runs from July 18 through to August 10 and includes a Superior Queen room (yes, they made it a queen room intentionally) and a "special welcome indulgence", plus a $50 credit to use in the Opus Bar or, if you need a bit more privacy, on your room's minibar. And the final bonus: while you're out enjoying some Pride festivities, room service will be visiting you to add an "extra special pride downturn" to be there waiting for you. We don't know what these special additions are

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/norwegiangem.jpg" class="top"> <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/city/vancouver">Vancouver</a> has already sold-out its hotels rooms for the 2010 Winter Olympics next February but there is a way to create some extra inventory without having to build a new hotel---use a cruise ship! From the <a href="http://www.seattlepi.com/local/407096_hotels10.html">Seattle PI</a>: <blockquote>A company is bringing in a Norwegian Cruise Line luxury ship for February's Winter Games to help accommodate visitors. Dennis Laliberte, Newwest Special Projects LP president, said the Norwegian Star can fit almost 9,000 people.</blockquote>Much like a regular hotel, the cruise ship has different room sizes ranging from simple staterooms to bigger suites. But it's also got 13 restaurants, eight lounges, a spa, a fitness center and "sensational nightly entertainment." There will also be live satellite coverage

Vancouver: The Dudes From 'The Bachelorette' Take Over the Fairmont Vancouver

Jenna — 2009-06-08T09:41:50-05:00

We sort of prefer The Bachelor to The Bachelorette — what? Doesn't everyone? — but when it comes down to it, we'll watch it if we've got nothin' else happening on a rainy summer night. And then we get addicted to it and yada yada; you know the rest.

We suppose we'll now have a valid excuse to switch it on, though: tonight's episode is hotel geek-esque. The Bachelorette, Jillian, actually surprises the thirteen suitors "with a romantic trip to her hometown of Vancouver."

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/ppv_pool.jpg" class="top"> Vancouver is not necessarily the city that immediately comes to mind when we think of hotspots with outdoor rooftop pools, but the city's <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Pan+Pacific+Vancouver/ian/141453">Pan Pacific Hotel</a> has just re-opened its 8th floor terrace and the hotel's heated salt-water outdoor pool. Apparently, this is the only one of its kind in all of Vancouver and because there's no chlorine, it's much easier on your eyes (literally) and on the environment too. The high temps in Vancouver in the summer only average about 74 degrees in the months of July and August, which is a little chilly for us but fortunately, the terrace also has a jacuzzi to keep you warm.
