			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone" title="Metropolitan hotel vancouver, front entrance door, stair steps, door man" src="http://www.vacouver.ca/vancouver-info/images/Metropolitan-Hotel-Vancouver-front-door-entrance-steps-Vacouver.ca_.png" alt="" width="638" height="225" />Metropolitan Hotel Vancouver is a luxury hotel with an exclusive downtown location, however do not mistake the core downtown location with no view of the mountain. Quite the contrary, the Metropolitan is situated in place where you can view an amazing mountain backdrop. Vancouver is one Canada’s best city and the Metropolitan hotel has all the shopping pleasures and exciting restaurants in close proximity.  Whether you are in Vancouver for business or pleasure, the Metropolitan hotel will meet and exceeds your needs.</p>
<p>As stated above the hotel is in a great location. You can also walk to downtown attractions and shops.  It is also close to the subway station, which means you don&#8217;t need a cab from the airport, just take the subway right to near the Metropolitan hotel. <span id="more-371"></span></p>
<p><img class="alignleft" title="Metropolitan hotel front lobby area" src="http://www.vacouver.ca/vancouver-info/images/Metropolitan-hotel-vancouver-lobby.jpg" alt="" width="319" height="254" />The Metropolitan was built in accordance to Feng Shui, which is a ancient Chinese art that ensures placement is in harmony with nature to achieve a positive energy flow. The lobby features golden Chinese Temple carvings plated with 24 kt. gold leafs. Black stone lions at the hotel entrance were shipped from an old Chinese temple. The lions guard against evil spirits.</p>
<div style="float: right; margin: 4px;"><img class="alignnone" title="Metropolitan hotel regular rooms" src="http://www.vacouver.ca/vancouver-info/images/Metropolitan-hotel-vancouver-regular-rooms.jpg" alt="" width="319" height="180" /></div>
<p>If you are in Vancouver for business the Metropolitan hotel also offers 7,600 sq. ft. of meeting, banquet and conference space designed to house anywhere from 10 to 250. The Metropolitan also had 197 luxurious hotel rooms and suites with spacious marble washrooms, separate glass showers and soaker tubs.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="Metropolitan Hotel Vancouver luxury suite rooms" src="http://www.vacouver.ca/vancouver-info/images/Metropolitan-hotel-vancouver-luxury-pacific-suite2.jpg" alt="" width="638" height="470" />The bathrooms are well designed and large with marble everywhere. There is a separate glassed-in shower as well as a tub. The large mirror over the sink is well lit and there is a stool so getting ready or putting on your make up is a breeze.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" title="Metropolitan Hotel swimming pool" src="http://www.vacouver.ca/vancouver-info/images/Metropolitan-hotel-vancouver-swim-pool.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" />The regular rooms have two twin beds but the suites have a king size bed. Though the regular rooms are small, the beds have comfortable down duvets to make up for small room size. As for missing that important phone call, don&#8217;t worry all rooms have 3 telephones.  Mini bar, coffee maker and bath robes are all standard and a newspaper is left outside your room each morning.</p>
<p>For dining there is a great restaurant in the Metropolitan Vancouver it is called &#8220;Diva at the Met&#8221; and it features Vancouver&#8217;s finest cuisine, celebrated Chef&#8217;s Table and distinguished wine cellar.</p>
<p>Close by is the Pacific Centre shopping complex that is partially underground. This large shopping centre is directly across the street of the Metropolitan hotel. Other attractions close by are the Art Gallery and trendy Robson Street shopping which is only a few blocks away.</p>
