"Enter through the striking, marble-framed doors and step past the futuristic bell-shaped light shaft, and you'll find a small, yet appropriately modern, reception desk that's suitably sized for a 96-room boutique hotel. The Opus was a gust of fresh air when it opened in 2002. As one of Yaletown’s first boutique hotels, it quickly became a part of the area’s vibrant dinner and nightlife scene, and its street-facing lobby-level bar, an eclectic den o’ sin, draws fashionable 20- and 30-something professionals."

"Yaletown was once a rundown ramshackle of warehouses, but gentrification has made it Vancouver’s hippest district. Symbolising this transformation is bold and bright Opus; a bohemian king of boutique hotels filled with playful art. Beyond the red-brick exterior, neon signs glow brightly and a palette of chartreuse, tangerine and raspberry demands sunglasses are worn in some of the 96 rooms."
