Hyatt Hotels plans to convert the forner Shangri-La Vancouver to a Park Hyatt in 2026. The hotel is now operating as Hyatt Vancouver Downtown Alberni until a multi-million-dollar redesign enhances and elevates the hotel’s guestrooms, residential style lobby, public spaces and spa. Following its rebranding to Park Hyatt, it will become the first Park Hyatt hotel in Vancouver and the fifth Hyatt hotel in British Columbia.
“Reimagining this iconic luxury hotel will enable Hyatt to thoughtfully expand our luxury portfolio in Canada,” Scott Richer, vice president of development and owner relations, Canada, Hyatt, said in a statement. “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 travelers a personalized experience in an intimate and enriching setting.”
The hotel has views of the harbor, mountains and cityscape. Near by are the city's premier experiences, from luxury shopping along Alberni Street to world-class dining, arts and cultural attractions.
