The Laurel Point Inn, a favourite
of film celebrities, upped the boutique quotient with a recent room makeover by
Vancouver designer Robert Ledingham. Rooms in the modernist south wing—designed
by architect Arthur Erickson in 1989—are awash in creams, chocolates and
burnt orange with contemporary flourishes like mega-thread-count bedding, leather
furnishings, flat-screen TVs and custom luxurious throws from Andrew Morgan. Spacious
marble bathrooms with soaker tubs and peek-a-boo showers offer plant-based bath
products from Molton Brown of London—a line otherwise available only at
Holt Renfrew. You can extend the experience at home by picking up more of Molton
Brown’s all-natural line—including the celestial maracuja sugar polish—
in the hotel’s gift shop.—Shelora Sheldan |
