cuisine
The Cloud 9 Revolving Restaurant has been a landmark of Downtown Vancouver since
November 1973.
On the 42nd floor of the Empire Landmark Hotel (formerly the Sheraton Landmark)
and still one of the tallest hotels in Vancouver.
Step off the elevator onto the 42nd floor into the Cloud 9 Revolving Restaurant,
and you are greeted with a spectacular view of Vancouver. The 20 feet high
windows allow guests to be treated to the unobstructed 360 degree view of the
majestic setting of mountains, harbour, the Georgia Straight and the city itself
as the Restaurant revolves. A kaleidoscope of vibrant lightings cover the walls
and ceilings at every turn giving a lively look and feel even on the dullest
rainy Vancouver day. Once night falls, the fiber optic lighting from the ceiling
gives the impression of stars in the sky. A large mural depicting the
Constellations on the upper interior wall ties the entire design of Cloud 9
together. The menu offers a wide variety of regional specialties and signature
dishes of the restaurant. The restaurant is locally renowned as a venue for
celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, graduation parties, corporate celebrations
as well as small private wedding receptions.
