If you like architecture this is a great place to visit. The nautical theme is throughout the building and entrance. Lots of amazing carved stone

The building was closed for restoration. BIG disappointment. Check out the train station a few blocks away.

A must see for art deco lovers when in Vancouver. The fassade might not be promising, but the interiors are very beautiful and taken care of.

We visited during the extensive renovation works. Surprisingly the building is still open to the public via a side door. There was very little to see but what we did see was amazing. The art deco lifts are beautiful (reminiscent of the Empire State lobby in NYC). Would love to have seen more.
I recommend a visit but when the renovations are complete if you can.

This building was one of the points of interest for us on our recent trip to Canada (early May 2023). Unfortunately, although the offices located in the building are open and functioning, the building itself and its wonderful interiors are obscured under the scaffolding and cover sheets. Disappointed.

The art deco exterior is astonishing. The inside is well preserved and its good that there are now two cafe bars at the main entrance which are breathing new life into this historic building.

We could only see the building from the outside (building was closed), but even from the outside and peeking through the doors, you could see and appreciate the retro architecture and details.

anchoring the west end of Hastings Street - a significant road - is a finely maintained monument to an earlier era of prosperity

An Art Deco Gem! The lobby is a photographer's dream. To appreciate the art deco reliefs on the outside, bring your binoculars to see them up close or, better yet, your camera with telephoto lens to capture them for future enjoyment.
