The Listel Hotel
—For the cultural angle
The Listel, located on bustling Robson Street in downtown Vancouver, is stocked with museum-grade art on almost every wall, and almost all of it is for sale. Book seats at the buzzy central bar at Forage, where chef Welbert Choi delivers pork crépinette with Fraser Valley coppa, peppercorn sauce, parsley coulis and cranberry and apple purée.
