We stayed at the Loden for 4 nights at the end of a road-trip around BC. The welcome from the staff was first class, rooms beautifully designed and spotlessly clean, and "Le Tableau" bar and restaurant was first class and not horribly over-priced. The location on Melville Street is just 2 minutes from Coal Harbour and its lovely walks and restaurants, and 5 minutes from the shopping district on Robson. But it's the small touches that make this hotel standout for me. From homemade lemonade in the foyer and fresh coffee in the mornings, to their own taxi which will scoot you around the city, to the complimentary bikes they provide you with to cycle around Stanley Park - this has been seroiusly though out and gives you a first rate experience. I will be back for sure.
