The new-build Westin Wall Centre, Vancouver Airport, has opened in time for the Winter Olympics. The hotel boasts significant green features, such as a "living wall" that incorporates 360 panels comprising more than 9,000 native plants, which assist in irrigation. Additionally, a green roof system features a large landscaped area consisting of drought tolerant sedum and ornamental grass with long curved arches to emulate the flight paths and movements of planes from the nearby airport.
The 176-key hotel offers nearly 10,000 square feet of function space, including a large ballroom that access an outdoor terrace and garden area; casual restaurant the Apron; business center; indoor heated pool; and fitness center.
