The OPUS Bar is the ultimate in urban glam, designed in white accented with shots of bright color. The feel is not so much minimalist, but that of a really stylish friend’s living room, with lots of comfy chairs and sofas in which to casually lounge. If you want to mingle with the stylish and savvy – whether it be visiting celebs, local glitterati or sports icons, this is the place to go.

As for the essential oils, the tonics include the heady Opusition, a fruity mix of passion fruit liqueur, fresh grapefruit juice, brut, poached pineapple and grapefruit essential oil, and the HUGO, a twist on the traditional gin & tonic made with Bombay Gin, mint, soda, and lavender and lime essential oils.

Essential oils have long been thought to provide various health benefits and, depending on the oil, can aid digestion, uplift your mood or act as a natural aphrodisiac. So be sure to choose your drink accordingly!

If you find that you need a room after ingesting all of that healthy goodness, then the OPUS Vancouver is certainly a good choice, recognized as the Trendiest Hotel in Canada and as the 5th in the world by TripAdvisor’s Traveler’s Choice Awards this year.

Rates start at $299 CAD for a Standard Queen and go to $339 CAD for a Deluxe King or a Deluxe Courtyard. We say splurge for the deluxe – you get either a Juliet balcony or a fireplace if you do.
