When we compiled the mother-of-all-hotel-openings list, the Hotel Indigo Vancouver was set to debut May 6. But looks like the hotel's opening has been pushed back, since reservations are only being accepted for June 15 and beyond.

In the meantime, let's dish on what we can expect when the former Plaza 500 Hotel reopens its doors. The downtown hotel's 153 contemporary rooms will have hardwood floors and the chain's trademark oversized photo murals on its walls. Less than a mile from Olympic Village, the 14-story hotel will offer views of the city and surrounding coastal mountains. Inside the room, you'll find perks like free WiFi and a 42-inch LCD television.

Elsewhere in the hotel, you can work out at a 24-hour gym and dine at FigMint Restaurant and Lounge. The hotel's website doesn't reveal what kind of cuisine it will serve, but the lobby restaurant, a holdover from its former days, will offer breakfast and dinner. The lounge portion will specialize in handcrafted cocktails, a sommelier-designed wine list and a large beer selection.

The hotel chain is on a roll, prepping locations in Glasgow and Liverpool. Plus, the company just announced it plans to open an outpost in Phuket, Thailand, on June 1, 2014.

If you want to check out the Vancouver hotel, opening-night rates start at $179 CAD, or about $183 US.

Location

Calling the location of this hotel as "Downtown" may be a little generous. It is, however; pretty much on the Canada Line (1 block south up the hill) that connects the airport to downtown. free internet?

Yes, and it has free Internet!

@eagertraveler: Thanks for clarifying. Yes, it's a bit outside of downtown, but the hotel lists its location on its website, so we decided to go with that description. And yes, it will offer free Internet--score!
