The Bar/Lounge at OPUS Vancouver

"The cool Opus Bar is one of Yaletown’s liveliest hangouts, plus, after a few hits-and-misses (mostly misses), Opus has finally got its restaurant right: La Pentola della Quercia is the downtown outpost of a popular Kits eatery, with an award-winning wine list and exceptional Italian food in a bright, airy room"

"Celebs like Lady Gaga and Bono have stayed here, but even everyday folks get VIP perks such as complimentary rides in the hotel's BMW 7 Series and automatic entry into the still-hip Opus Bar"

"Hats, Bombay Brow Bar and Killjoy for a hot shave and a drink at the bar"

"A model of excellent service, the Opus has a slick on-site bar and a quality Italian restaurant, while all rooms come with loaner iPads"

"The cool Opus Bar and Cento Notti Italian restaurant mean you need never leave the hotel precincts for food, drink and evening relaxation – though with the temptations of Yaletown just seconds away, this would be a mistake"
