As far as rooftop patios go, Reflections is pretty great. Located within Vancouver’s famous Hotel Georgia, this cozy garden bar is a favourite among locals year round. In the summer, it’s a great place to grab a refreshing drink with friends, and in the winter, it’s decorated in the holiday spirit, great for cozying up with someone special.
While the prices are a bit on the higher end, the experience is worth the extra cash. If you’re not in the mood for a cocktail, order some tea and ask your server for a blanket. You’ll get to curl up on their comfy couches and just relax.
When you arrive, note that there’s a specific elevator that takes you to the terrace. The main elevator is for hotel guests only, and usage requires a room key so you might get stuck. If you can’t find it right away, head to the front desk and ask. They’ll be more than happy to help!
