We Paid /night

Including room rate, taxes and mandatory resort fees

What does ""We Paid"" mean?

Forbes Travel Guide performs independent, incognito inspections of all hotels we rate. This is what we paid when we stayed at this hotel.

Rates can vary widely by room type and season. "We Paid" is intended to give a general sense of price, but you might find considerably different rates for your trip.

When we book, we aim for the optimum season for the destination, but we avoid holidays and major public events, when prices are highest. We generally book a room at one category up from the most basic.

We take advantage of promotional rates, when possible. That means the rate you see above might have included other benefits, such as spa or meal credits.

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

We are the only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas and ocean cruise ships.

Here are five things to know about us:

1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.

2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.

3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.

4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.

5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

On the 17th floor of the sleek JW Marriott Parq Vancouver, Spa by JW offers an elevated retreat away from the buzz of Parq Vancouver’s casino below or BC Place Stadium next door. Like a cloud floating above the urban center, the serene spa favors simplicity in its design and treatment menus that eliminate decision fatigue and let you focus on relaxation.

Modern, minimalist décor sets the stage for your tranquil retreat, paired with views over False Creek from the lounge and select treatment rooms.Services are divided into four categories, each designed to deliver a specific result: calm, balance, nourish and renew. Look for the locally inspired therapies that allow you to experience Vancouver without setting foot outside the sumptuous spa. A rooftop whirlpool allows you soak up some extra relaxation amid the skyline before or after your treatment.

Our Inspector's Highlights

For an innovative service, try vibrational sound therapy. Used to treat veterans with PTSD, the touchless treatment uses a Mind-Sync zero-gravity wellness lounger that helps reduce stress and anxiety and restores sleep.
Facials from luxe German skincare brand Doctor Babor offer results-driven treatments for those craving a youthful glow.
After your treatment, spend some time on the Vancouver spa’s Aqua Lounge terrace. The spacious rooftop offers plush loungers for sunbathing and a warm whirlpool for a little post-massage hydrotherapy, all surrounded by skyline views.
Spa by JW at JW Marriott Parq Vancouver’s sun-lit lounge provides a prime spot to settle in before your service. Individual chaise loungers each offer a privacy wall and a plush blanket so you can unwind, ideally with a cup of soothing tea in hand.
Sleek changing rooms adopt a modern aesthetic with clean, white décor and plenty of extra amenities from hair ties to toothbrushes. A steam room adds an extra luxurious touch to the space.

The Treatments

Inspired by Vancouver’s rugged landscape, Spirit of the Mountains combines an evergreen body exfoliation and a rejuvenating body wrap for 100 minutes of bliss.
The Doctor Babor Wellness Facial is a must for those fighting fatigue. The treatment begins with a guided meditation, followed by a back massage, a collagen-boosting facial and a cryo-gua sha massage to promote lymphatic drainage, promote blood circulation and calm the mind.
For some locally inspired pampering, opt for the Douglas Fir body exfoliation. Not only will your skin feel baby-soft, but you’ll enjoy the signature Vancouver scent of evergreen to promote relaxation for both mind and body.
Those looking for the best of both worlds in skincare should opt for the Vancouver spa’s Skin Refining by Doctor Babor. This non-invasive, results-driven treatment reduces fine lines and restores skin’s elasticity without the inflammation that can with more abrasive peels.
