  • Hotel Vancouver 1916–1949 – The second of three CPR Hotels by that name. Acquired by the CNR, it was eventually demolished after the CNR's failure, partly under terms of an arrangement with the City of Vancouver to ensure its refurbishment would not hurt the market for a third, Hotel Vancouver. After delays the third was built, while the second was demolished and became a parking lot before the Pacific Centre rose on the site in 1969.

Famous quotes containing the word hotels:

    Towns are full of people, houses full of tenants, hotels full of guests, trains full of travelers, cafés full of customers, parks full of promenaders, consulting-rooms of famous doctors full of patients, theatres full of spectators, and beaches full of bathers. What previously was, in general, no problem, now begins to be an everyday one, namely, to find room.
    José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
