10 New Vancouver Venues for Spring 2019 Meetings and Events

The restaurants, hotels, meeting spaces, and more for hosting events in Vancouver.

Amy Mair
March 20, 2019

Here's a look at new eateries, bars, hotels, conference spaces, private rooms, and other venues available for events this spring in or around Vancouver. The new and renovated Vancouver event spaces are available for corporate parties, weddings, fund-raisers, outdoor functions, business dinners, teambuilding activities, conferences, meetings, and more.

Vancouver Marriott Pinnacle Downtown Hotel
Vancouver Marriott Pinnacle Downtown Hotel
Light is a hot commodity during the drizzly winter and spring months in Vancouver, which makes the newly renovated Vancouver Marriott Pinnacle Downtown Hotel’s light-filled meeting spaces a draw for meeting planners. Located downtown, the hotel features 13 state-of-the-art meeting rooms across 20,000-square feet. The 6,633-square-foot Pinnacle Ballroom is the largest space and seats 600 theater style or holds that many for receptions. The contemporary meeting spaces feature floor-to-ceiling windows (in all spaces except the ballroom). The project had a grand opening in October.

The Josie

Opened in November, luxury boutique hotel the Josie is situated at the base of Red Mountain Resort in Rossland, British Columbia. The hotel features 106 one-bedroom suites, guest rooms, and studio suites with a modern-meets-mountain-adventure design. Floor-to-ceiling windows, recycled wood paneling, and earthy tones abound. The thoughtfully designed meeting and event space features state-of-the-art technology and onsite catering. Both the 16-seat boardroom and 1,500-square-foot ballroom lead to a nearly 2,600-square-foot terrace that seats 112 guests and is suitable for cocktail receptions, weddings, yoga classes, and more.

Blackcomb Snowmobiles

Access a premium backcountry teepee via snowshoe in Whistler’s majestic Callaghan Valley. Blackcomb Snowmobile is offering two new tour options. The Après Teepee Tour enables guests to snowshoe through the forest to a remote teepee where an indoor fire, hot mulled beverages, and charcuterie platter awaits. The Daytime Teepee Tour includes a brief history of the local First Nation’s traditions. The teepee can accommodate 30 people comfortably and includes sofas, indoor heaters, tables, and music.

From boardroom to bales of hay, Covert Farms Family Estate in Oliver features 650 acres of sprawling natural landscape and two acres of dedicated event space including a cozy wine lounge for 36 people and a rustic log barn that holds 200 people. Event planners can arrange a private farm tour for delegates or outdoor teambuilding games from horseshoes to bocce ball. A farm-to-table feast is also an option. New this spring, Covert Farms is introducing an obstacle course, sunrise bluff hike, and hands-on wine harvest tour.

Dark Manor Inn
Opened last fall in the Fraserhood neighborhood of Vancouver, Dark Manor Inn is a meeting space with a spooky vibe.

The decor includes chandeliers, skulls, a coffin table, and even a Gothic chair from Netflix’s A Series of Unfortunate Events.

Quazar's Arcade
Quazar's Arcade
Retro pinball and arcade game mecca Quazar's Arcade is a different spin on an event meeting space. Located in Victoria’s historic Trounce Alley, a street complete with gaslights and one-of-a-kind shops, the arcade features a rotating collection of 20 pinball machines and 25 arcade games from modern shooters to golden age classics such as Centipede and Ms. Pac-Man. The basement-level venue opened in November and can hold 80 people. Non-alcoholic drinks and snacks are on offer, while outside catering is permitted.
