Great service, great location - within short walking distance of a huge
number of restaurants, sea taxi, and much of downtown (e.g. Robson St.)
is within a 15 minute walk. From the moment I stepped in this hotel I
was overwhelmed with its chicness, from the bar in the lobby populated
by trendy young people to the stylish hotel rooms. The service (check-in
desk, valet, restaurant wait staff) was excellent throughout. The hotel
room was a bit on the loud side (but nothing that kept us up) during the
night, but that's to be expected from the location. The hotel room was
good, but nothing special, and the hotel doesn't offer that much in the
way of amenities. If you're interested however in atmosphere and
location, this is a good place to stay.

I had the pleasure and privilege of staying at the Opus for nearly three
weeks, during which time the staff went above and beyond the regular
call of duty, ensuring that the entire experience was spectacular. The
rooms are great, the food excellent, the location convenient; the staff
are extraordinary.

I have been using this hotel for over 3 years and have always enjoyed my
stay 100%.
The staff are exceptional. They are knowledgeable, courteous, and
friendly.
The rooms are exactly what you'd expect from a boutique hotel; warm,
comfy, and clean.
The location is right next to the Yaletown skytrain station and in the
heart of Yaletown.

I have stayed here on several occasions. The hotel is well located and
the staff are helpful and friendly. The rooms are well equipped and
relaxing.

We stayed in the regular rooms that face the street when prepping for
our wedding, and spent our first night in the penthouse...I wouldn't say
the penthouse was worth the extra $$$,, the regular rooms would have
worked just perfectly. Good lounge and we would stay there again.

Quick two day business trip - love the hotel and the location -
literally 50 steps off the new tram to airport - staff are excellent - I
made one very minor comment about something in hindsight that is seems
petty but the staff responded immediately. I will hit VCR again in
approx. 2 weeks and this is my new home.

The room had some fun and funky features that included a peek-a-boo
window from the bedroom into the washroom, brightly painted walls, and
comic books for reading. It also had unusual minibar amenities that
includes a logo'd hat and plastic-wrapped novels. Best of all, our dog
was welcomed with a surprise package that included treats, accessories
and Modern Dog magazine. The hotel oozes personality. One complaint--
they don't give you bath salts or bubbles for the tub and I spent too
much time walking around the neighborhood trying to find some in vain.
The streets and the bar in the hotel can get a bit noisy at night but
that's probably what you're here for.

Absolutely love the Opus - there for a business meeting in Jan. 2010,
and will definitely go back. I travel all the time and have been to lots
of business meetings in Vancouver and have stayed at lots of hotels
there. The Opus is on top of my list now (just ahead of the Wedgewood).
Here's why: 1) Location - love Yaletown, v. convenient for downtown
Vancouver (wouldn't mind being closer to Stanley Park, but life is all
about trade-offs), but really LOVE the fact that it's just across the
street from the new Canada Rail line (Yaletown station). Great
restaurants nearby, great shops, great spas. 2) Service/staff - everyone
is friendly and helpful. I'm a bit concerned they're drugging those
folks because, boy, from housekeeping to maintenance to front desk to
waitstaff, etc. etc. EVERYONE was helpful and friendly. 3) Really
comfortable beds and room. If you travel enough you know - you remember
the comfortable beds, and this is one. Turn down service every night -
lollipops and PEZ instead of chocolate. Rooms with dock for ipod (and if
you'd rather have a different dock, some friendly person will help you
with that). 4) Cookies. Just try the cookies in the Elixir or meeting
rooms. 5) Great vibe. I'm a fan of the W-style of funky, hip hotels -
but, more often than not, that comes at the cost of exceptional service
and comfort. But the Opus was cool without being too cool - service like
a Ritz Carlton but style like the W. As a business traveler, that's a
really, really good combination.

The hip Opus Hotel is set in fashionable Yaletown area of downtown. Its 96 rooms
are pet friendly, not something you usually find in such a well-designed
boutique property. The minimalist rooms, each with a glamorous spa bathroom,
feature bright pops of color and streamlined, modern furniture. The onsite
“lifestyle concierge” might persuade you to skip the games in favor of a hot,
new nightclub, or just to stay in the hotel’s Elixir Bistro and shocking-white
Opus Bar.

The Opus is the place to stay in Vancouver if you want a central location,
wonderful service and a very nice room. It's a smaller "boutique" hotel so you
get very personalized attention and little extras from the staff, all of whom
are delightful. We never waited more than 5 minutes for any room service, the
rooms were kept spanking-clean and tidy by the daily maid service and the food
at the restaurant was wonderful. The hotel is located in Yale Town which is an
older, more eclectic part of the city filled with great restaurants, lots of
shopping and a more intimate atmosphere than the bussel and hussel of newer
urban environments.
Getting to the Opus is one of the best features of it's location. Forget a car
unless you intend to visit areas outside of the central city. We have been to
Vancouver before taking the car but found it was really not necessary since most
of what is worth seeing is within a 30 minute walk or water taxi. We noticed the
Opus offers free car service from the Hotel to places within the City, but we
never took advantage of it since everything is so close and walking the city
streets is one of the joys of visiting this beautiful city.
If you're flying to Vancouver forget a cab or car to get to the hotel. There is
now the new awesome Canada Line built for the upcoming Olympics that opened last
summer. This fancy new rail system takes you directly from the international
airport to the downtown waterfront with many stops along the way, one of which
is literally across the street from the Opus hotel called the "Roundhouse
Station". The ride is about $3.50 one way and takes about 20 minutes. The trains
come are regular intervals and we never waited more than 5 minutes for a train.
All day passes are available too.
From the Opus hotel you can walk down the street to catch the water taxi that
will take you to many other tourist destinations like Grandville Island and the
Science Museum. The ride itself is fun and should be considered when moving
about the City. There is a great store nearby called Urban Market where you can
get groceries and other rare finds of great deli quality. But I digress.
Back to the Hotel.
The rooms are nicely appointed with modern lines and pleasing color schemes.
Hair dryer, iron and ironing board, safe, bathrobes were standard features. The
bed was very comfortable with nice linens. My only complaint was there was
limited drawer space for your clothes (only two) but the closet did have a few
small shoe shelves to put things on which we had to do. There is no ice
machine... room service provided the ice when needed. I would also forgo using
the bathrobes, they tend to be on the small side and very scratchy. But aside
from these small issues there was nothing not to like about staying here.
The staff are unlike any other hotel staff i've ever experienced. They truly are
interested in making sure your stay is pleasant and enjoyable. Wonderful to talk
with and helpful with information on the city, the airport or other aspects that
might affect your stay. They were one of the main features about why I really
love staying at this hotel.

This is one of my favorite boutique hotels. I've also stayed at OPUS Montreal.
OPUS Vancouver is a fantastic mix of decor, location, nice taste, accommodating
staff, and overall great feel. I love coming time and time again to stay in a
different room - since they all have a unique personality. Kudos to the staff
for all the nice touches. One of my favourites was the cd mixes available in the
room. Nice picks.

I was upgraded to a corner suite as I was entertaining some customers to a
hockey game and drinks before. The staff are amazing, the location is great and
the rooms are beautiful.
I travel and stay in Hotels 15 nights a month and this is the top pick for me.

We stayed at the Opus hotel for 3 nights at the end of Dec. The hotel is in a
great location - if you arrive at YVR just hop on the Canada line, get off at
Yaletown and cross the street to enter the hotel! The SkyTrain allows easy
access to all of Vancouver so it's great to have the station so nearby. The
hotel itself is very hip and has friendly and helpful staff. Rooms are a nice
size although the window into the shower/bath from the bedroom did cause us much
amusement! The business center allows free internet access and printing. If
you're looking for a good restaurant nearby try 'rtl' (Regional tasting lounge)
on Mainland street - great tapas! Only downside is that Yaletown is busy and the
road was a little noisy...

We arrived at the Opus after a 14.5hr flight from Sydney at 9am in the morning
and were welcomed by wonderful staff, we were upgraded and given an early check
in which meant that by 10am we were enjoying a long luxurious bath and watching
the city life go by. The rooms and staff were excellent i would highly recommend
this hotel.
Since the opening of the Canada Line you can get from the Airport to Yaletown
station in under 15mins, the Opus is just across the road....Its so convienant
when you have luggage and don't know your way around the city!

It might be a bit on the pricey side, but the Opus hotel in Vancouver is a great
place to stay. Located in
Yaletown, within walking distance to
Downtown, the hotel is
apparently a top choice for visiting
Celebrities. Room design/comfort, public spaces, service and location are
all good. I would definitely stay here again.

We celebrated our anniversary by staying in one of the Executive Suites, and had
a thoroughly enjoyable experience at the Opus. The staff were prompt,
good-humoured, and the room itself was clean and comfortable. Not one of the
less expensive places to stay in Vancouver, but if you can find the means,
highly recommended.

The Opus hotel is located in the center of downtown Vancouver. The amenities are
great...valet parking, nice bed, complimentary bottled water, etc. The best
feature about this hotel though is the Staff! They are all very friendly,
helpful, and efficient. I was there just for one night for a business trip and
needed restaurant recommendation. The front desk staff was great. She gave
suggestions based on our requested price point and location (walking distance)
and tell us about the type of cuisine and printed the menus for us. The next
morning, she remembered about it and asked how dinner was. I had an hour before
going to the airport, so I left my luggage with the front desk and asked them to
get me a taxi at 11 AM. I came back to the lobby about 10 minutes prior to 11 AM
and the staff, immediately upon seeing me sitting on the lobby, asked if I
wanted my taxi earlier, got my luggage out, and got me a taxi pronto! I am just
impressed on how friendly the general people are in Vancouver!
