Parq is the most design-forward casino-hotel in the country, and it earns a place here for its setting: a downtown complex of two hotels — a JW Marriott and the boutique Douglas, around 500 rooms combined — over a stylish casino, rising beside BC Place a short walk from False Creek and the seawall.
Parq's floor is style-led — a smart, contemporary room of table games, a poker room and slots, built as part of a luxury complex. It is the downtown choice: a polished night out with the water a short stroll away.
Two hotels share the tower — the full-service JW Marriott and the boutique Douglas, around 500 rooms combined, both genuinely high-end. You pick your style and stay a lift-ride from the tables, the restaurants and the rooftop park, with the seawall close by.
The dining is the headline: around a dozen restaurants and bars, plus a spa, a large event space and a landscaped rooftop park six storeys up. For a city break near the water, the range on site is unmatched.
Parq sits downtown beside BC Place, steps from False Creek, the seawall and Yaletown. It is city-water rather than open shoreline, but for a stylish stay with the water minutes away and a casino downstairs, it fits the guide well.
