62-Room Arden Hotel to Open Early 2026 in Burrard Street Office Conversion

The adaptive reuse targets Vancouver's hotel shortage by converting a 1972 medical office at 1144 Burrard Street.

Overview

  • Developer Amacon and operator Wentworth Hospitality Group are turning roughly 27,000 square feet of former offices into a boutique property with 62 guest rooms.
  • The project adds a fitness studio, adaptable meeting spaces, and a street-level restaurant with an outdoor patio to activate the Burrard Heights frontage.
  • Ciccozzi Architecture is leading exterior updates that retain the building’s late-brutalist character, with interiors by Portico Design Group.
  • The site sits across from St. Paul’s Hospital, and work includes gutting ceilings and installing modern HVAC and plumbing to meet hotel standards.
  • Wentworth’s track record includes the Loden Hotel, recognized with consecutive Michelin Key awards, underscoring the operator’s credibility for the new opening.
