Hotel Vancouver

Architects John S. Archibald and John Schofield designed the present Hotel Vancouver, the third hotel of that name. The first Hotel Vancouver opened in 1887 at Georgia and Granville Streets, and in 1916 it was replaced by a more lavish building at the same location. Construction of the third and present Hotel Vancouver began in 1928, took 11 years to complete, and it opened on May 25, 1939 in time to welcome Their Majesties King George VI and Queen Elizabeth on their first Canadian tour.
