"Vancouver's most artful hotel and “a cultural tourist’s dream." The Listel Hotel
is one of the city's most Aboriginal Art decorated and interesting jazz hotels.
In a word it promotes what is B.C. The rooms feature "Northwest Coast art by Northwest
Coast artists" and are a tribute to all things original and distinctly British
Columbian. From the cedar headboards and armoires carved using traditional native
techniques, to the textured shoji screen-esque window dressing, and the hand-forged
ironworks these rooms showcase the work of many of the province's finest Northwest
Coast artists. The original art in these rooms is created by some of British Columbia's
finest First Nations artists including Musqueam printmaker Susan Point, Tlingit
artist Eugene Alfred and Kwakwaka'wakw potter Judy Cranmer. The
Listel Hotel has a reputation for creative partnerships with the city's most significant
cultural organizations, including the Buschlen Mowatt Gallery, The Vancouver International
Jazz Festival and until March 25, 2007, the amazing Totems to Turquoise Native
North American Jewelry Arts of the Northwest and Southwest. The hotel is also
home to O'Doul's Restaurant & Bar where an award-winning wine list is rivaled
only by a remarkable West Coast menu and some of the hottest live jazz in the
city - every night of the week. The Hotel packages innovative activities during
the seasons. Nu-Salya Chalet Admission:
$200.00 - $450.00 per night. Telephone: 1-877-604-9005 www.nusalya.com Address:
