last week. This partnership will allow members to be able to earn and
redeem IHG Rewards Club points at more than 500 handpicked Mr & Mrs

the other Canadian locations will be part of this partnership! Learn more about the new partnership here.

    in where to go, with the addition of Mr & Mrs Smith properties in
    14 countries where IHG doesn’t currently have open hotels.

    InterContinental Ambassadors and Kimpton Inner Circle members, will

Canadian hotel company Executive Hotels
has opened a new location in Vancouver. The new Seaside Hotel in North
Vancouver is now open. Here is how Executive Hotels describes their
newest locations:

Located in the historic Shipyards at Lower Lonsdale (Lolo), Seaside
Hotel is the North Shore’s newest boutique hotel experience! We’re
creating a space of uncompromising comfort: luxury on the frontier of
adventure.



71 rooms and suites binding the majesty of the North Shore with the
sophistication of world-class style to create an unforgettable
experience. Our rooms are articulately designed to evoke the natural
world: a reclaimed wood focal wall, floor to ceiling windows, heated
flooring, soaker tubs, automated blinds, and more; an experience all
their own! 

The hotel does not show up on the Executive Hotels Executive Rewards
site so we beleive at this time it does not participate in the hotel’s
frequent guest program. Find out more about the hotel here!
