A Diamond in the Making

On your mark, get set, go! The Civic Hotel, Autograph Collection®, opened its doors this week and we are delighted to offer a new standard of social, meeting and accommodation space where the local community and visitors from across the country and abroad can gather for business and pleasure. Conveniently located in the geographical centre of Metro Vancouver our hotel provides an unparalleled quality of venue, service and amenities. Constructed with eco-friendly technologies like radiant heating and passive ventilation, it also sets a new standard in sustainable hospitality.

From the moment guests enter our sensational glass-case lobby with its 30-foot ceilings, the opportunities for getting together abound. Internationally renowned and multiple award-winning Prado Cafe and signature restaurant Dominion Bar + Kitchen provide somewhere exciting to get together over food and drinks. If it’s all about business, our 8,000 square feet of flexible, catered meeting spaces are a perfect option for executive retreats, conferences and a wide range of special events. At the end of a busy day, our 144 contemporary guest rooms provide a luxurious place to lay your head for the night.

As we see it, the most important role of the Civic Hotel and everyone here is to provide the spaces and the experiences that support and inspire connections between people, ideas, local businesses and the innovative tech sector emerging in the surrounding City Centre.

What is the symbolic value of the diamond? It reflects the light-filled spaces we’ve crafted throughout the building, inside of which people can connect, engage and create new opportunities for social and business success. It is a reflection of our belief in the strength, value and determination of the people here and across the province, and their importance in the genesis of the incredible growth and innovation happening around us.

Finally, the diamond symbolizes the portal created by Civic Hotel to the unique flavours, culture, artistry and landscape of our amazing community and province. In creating this new, light-drenched, urban social and business hub, we’re providing opportunities for the discoveries and innovation that will strengthen diversity and community, build prosperity and ignite the connections that drive continued growth here in Surrey’s City Centre. We look forward to meeting you!
