VANCOUVER — Hyatt Hotels Corporation has announced the upcoming debut of the Park Hyatt brand in Vancouver, marking a significant expansion of the company’s luxury footprint in Canada.
The former Shangri-La Vancouver has joined the Hyatt portfolio and is now operating as Hyatt Vancouver Downtown Alberni, with a major multi-million-dollar redesign underway that will see it rebranded as a Park Hyatt hotel in 2026.
Located at 1128 West Georgia Street, the hotel is now bookable across all Hyatt reservation channels. Following the transformation, the 119-room property will be elevated with redesigned guestrooms, a residential-style lobby, enhanced public spaces and spa, and refined amenities aligned with the Park Hyatt brand’s signature standards.
“Reimagining this iconic luxury hotel will enable Hyatt to thoughtfully expand our luxury portfolio in Canada,” said Scott Richer, vice president of development and owner relations, Canada, Hyatt. “We’re excited for our plan to introduce the Park Hyatt brand to Vancouver in 2026, once we further elevate the hotel with refined design and signature experiences for our guests and World of Hyatt members.
“Together with Park Hyatt Toronto, the future Park Hyatt Vancouver will strengthen Hyatt’s luxury brand presence in Canada’s top urban markets and will offer the most discerning travellers a personalized experience in an intimate and enriching setting.”
Standout features of the Hyatt Vancouver Downtown Alberni include sweeping harbour views, contemporary décor and the Michelin-recommended, recently renovated Carlino restaurant, which pays homage to the cuisine of northern Italy. The property is just steps from the luxury shopping enclave of Alberni Street and within walking distance of some of the city’s top dining, arts and cultural experiences.
Upon completion of its transformation, the hotel will become Vancouver’s first Park Hyatt and the fifth Hyatt-branded property in British Columbia. It is now fully integrated into the World of Hyatt loyalty program, allowing members to earn and redeem points for eligible stays in Vancouver.
