The hotel’s refreshed design brings new energy to its sustainability-forward vision and wellness-driven longer-stay experience
Toronto, ON – Atlific Hotels is proud to announce that its managed property, Element Vancouver Metrotown, has completed a top-to-bottom transformation of its public spaces and a refresh of its guest rooms as the hotel celebrates its ten-year anniversary. The renovation incorporates clever use of space, smart, fresh thinking, and a design reflecting the Element brand’s approach to sustainable, whole living.
“Atlific is proud of Element Vancouver Metrotown’s renovations which will enhance the already wonderful guest experience as well as its position as a leader in sustainable, longer stays,” said Philippe Gadbois, Chief Operating Officer, Atlific Hotels. “It’s an honour to have managed this exceptional property for 10 years and we look forward to continuing to meet the needs of today’s mindful traveller for many years to come.”
The renovations blend Element’s global philosophy with a sense of local energy. Guest rooms and key communal areas have been enhanced into multi-functional, human-centered spaces designed for both productivity and restoration.
Guests are welcomed by a bright, uplifting palette that reflects Metrotown’s vibrancy, balanced by natural hues inspired by British Columbia’s lush landscape. Organic shapes and a curated mix of deep blues, forest greens, wood tones, and soft neutrals create a grounded, nature-inspired atmosphere that promotes whole, healthy living.
This layered, contemporary design fosters mental clarity, physical comfort, and emotional rejuvenation, starting with refreshed guest rooms featuring new bedding and modern lighting. Next, the lobby offers a refreshed arrival experience that feels welcoming and reflective of the environment, featuring modern soft seating, natural finishes, and abundant plants, evoking a sense of balance and calm. The fifth floor RISE & RELAX Lounge now offers flexible seating, eat and work zones and the hotel’s new, grounded colour palette that shifts with daylight.
The hotel’s popular saltwater pool and whirlpool are now joined by an upgraded Motion Fitness Centre, featuring new lighting, refreshed walls, and energizing design accents to inspire healthy routines. As well, a complete update of the third-floor meeting space brings in curated artwork, new carpeting and furniture, and abundant greenery to promote clarity and creativity while making the space ideal for collaboration, events, or quiet focus.
As part of Marriott’s Element by Westin brand, the hotel continues to offer long-stay essentials such as fully equipped kitchens, ergonomic workspaces, Westin’s Heavenly® Beds, and spa-inspired bathrooms. These comforts now coexist with spaces crafted for a lifestyle of balance, vitality, and sustainability.
Atlific’s leadership brings operational excellence, ensuring curated experiences, high service standards, and eco-conscious practices aligned with evolving guest expectations.
Ideally situated in Burnaby’s business and shopping hub, just 20 minutes from downtown Vancouver, Element Vancouver Metrotown invites guests to live life away as they do at home; vibrantly, mindfully, and with sustainability in mind.
