Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide has opened the Element Vancouver Metrotown—the second Element hotel to open in Canada. Owned by Bosa Properties and managed by Atlific Hotels, Element Vancouver Metrotown is part of Bosa’s Sovereign building, the tallest tower in Burnaby, British Columbia.
The new Element features 169 rooms and suites and an atmosphere designed to fuel a life in balance. Element Vancouver Metrotown joins Element Vaughan Southwest in the greater Toronto region and will be followed by the opening of two more Element hotels in Canada next year.
“Element Vancouver Metrotown is a terrific addition to our growing portfolio and an ideal choice for this location, given Vancouver’s bold initiative to become the world’s greenest city by 2020,” says Brian McGuinness, senior vice president of specialty select brands for Starwood. “On track to triple its portfolio by the end of 2017, Element is resonating with travelers who share the brand’s passion for great design and smart, sustainable living.”
Element is the first major hotel brand to mandate that all properties pursue the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED certification for high-performance buildings.
