Our Stay at the JW Marriott Parq Vancouver!

We were invited guests of the JW Marriott Parq Vancouver. All thoughts, expressions, and opinions are my own.

Heading into the city is one of our favourite weekend activities! There is so much to see and do, the lights, the sounds, the activity… the kids love it and so do we! Vancouver is filled with choice when it comes to hotels, but the JW Parq Marriott is definitely an experience unlike any other!

THe JW Parq Marriott Vancouver is a luxury resort in the heart of the city! We stayed for 2 nights and we cannot wait to return. Below are our favourite parts of the Parq Vancouver and what we enjoyed most as a family during our recent stay!

THE LOCATION

Nestled beside the stylish neighborhood of Yaletown, within walking distance to Gastown and the shopping district, we basically had everything close by! We loved taking the colourful water taxi across to Granville Island for the day and visiting the kids market. Not only is the hotel location perfect, but the views are amazing! Most rooms have water and city/mountain views that definitely do not disappoint!

THE SERVICE

From the second we checked in we were treated like royalty! When we called for a crib, extra pillows, and wine glasses… they came to the door within minutes! There were personalized touches everywhere, from a note from our housekeeper, to the front desk greeting me by name! We felt so comfortable in our suite and loved the comfy bed, robes, and luxurious amenities!

THE SPA

I was treated to their fall feature: a Restorative Mask Recovery Facial featuring the Eminence organic skin care line. It was so relaxing and I enjoyed every minute! This facial was designed to help irritated skin caused by wearing a mask and it was the perfect end to my day.

THE ROOFTOP AQUA LOUNGE

This was a total surprise! We took advantage of the sun coming out in the late afternoon and headed up to floor 17 to relax in the hydrotherapy tub and catch some rays! It was perfect. We had the place to ourselves, the tub was the right temperature ((just warm enough, but not too hot for the kids), and the air was crisp and refreshing!

THE DINING

In the lobby of the Parq Marriott Vancouver is the most delightful restaurant called Honey SALT. The menu showcases fresh, local ingredients with an emphasis on farm-to-table offerings. They had a great kids menu featuring a veggies, meatballs, chicken strips, cheeseburger and more! The chef even came by our table and suggested Mark try a steak that he’d be adding to the menu! He really enjoyed it. I loved my Blackened Halibut and the calamari and shrimp starter was delicious!

We also dined at Honey Salt for breakfast one morning and the Eggs Benedict was delicious. The kids loved their pancakes! It was more than convenient having this great restaurant downstairs in the hotel lobby!

THE ROOM

We stayed in a corner suite with floor to ceiling windows! We couldn’t get enough of the views! The kids has ample space to sleep and nap during the day. We brought a travel bed for Hudson and Grace slept in the crib from the hotel. The room had a huge bath tub and a separate shower and toilet room. We ordered breakfast to the room and it was really yummy, the room service menu had a lot of options!

Overall our staycation at the JW Marriott Parq Vancouver was one to remember! Once we got home Hudson said he couldn’t wait until we’d be able to go back to the hotel! It was the perfect relaxing family getaway. A delightful escape in the middle of the city!
