Vancouver Marriott Pinnacle Downtown Introduces Festive New Holiday Promotion

VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwire - Nov 14, 2011) - If you can't go home for the holidays -- or just want a different place to call home this season -- gather your friends and family, and check into the Vancouver Marriott Pinnacle Downtown, consistently voted to be among the best hotels Vancouver has to offer.

Our award-winning AAA Four Diamond service is just the start to the amenities, atmosphere and accommodations we offer guests. As a stand-out among hotels in Vancouver downtown, we offer easy access to the area's major holiday attractions, including Bright Nights in Stanley Park, the Festival of Lights at VanDusen Botanical Gardens, or the Peak of Christmas at Grouse Mountain. While exploring evenings in Stanley Park, take a train ride through the forest transformed with two million twinkling lights, see the animated displays and listen to holiday sounds as you enjoy hot chocolate, fresh popcorn and roasted chestnuts. Mortal Coil's fabulous creations bring laughter and artistry to the Park. Christmas tunes serenade you as you ride the train. Professional and community choirs and bands will also be in the Plaza on special nights. Plus, you'll be just steps away from Coal Harbour and world-class shopping on Robson Street.

Back at the hotel, we're gearing up for the holidays with a gingerbread house and afternoons of mulled apple cider through the end of December. If that's got your mouth watering, don't miss our award-winning Show Case Restaurant, where you'll find a menu of locally inspired dishes including miso-glazed sablefish and pepper-crusted beef tenderloin. If you don't feel like venturing out to any of the Vancouver downtown restaurants, you can kick back, relax and order a delicious meal from room service. And, if you've overdone it with the milk and cookies or are just looking for a way to unwind, check out our fitness centre, offering a personal trainer; 52-foot lap pool; whirlpool and sauna. And, new for this year, don't forget to visit our North Pole, featuring Santa and the parade of trees.

With special holiday rates starting at $169CAD (max four adults per room), you'll have plenty of cash left over to spend on gifts for everyone on your list (and maybe a few things for you, too). We also offer a number of hotel packages in downtown Vancouver, including breakfast, shopping and romance deals. Our 20,000 sq ft of event space is perfect for holiday parties of any size. Banquet spaces include floor-to-ceiling windows featuring extraordinary views of Vancouver cityscapes and snowcapped mountain peaks.
