Down at the Keefer Bar, every drink is served alongside refreshing cinnamon-infused water.
Ambrosial scents and the sounds of traditional Chinese music rise up from Keefer Street in summer months, encircling The Keefer in the culture that inspired its creation. This boutique hotel doesn’t offer rooms so much as it offers entire floors — four to be precise.
Entering the city's eastside, a spirit of cultural redemption has inspired an area once in decay to be reborn as Vancouver's fashion, food, music, and youth culture heart. The Keefer is leader in this movement, producing delight at every turn.
Beginning at the bottom, the un-framed glass patio serves a myriad of cocktails, tinctures, Asian beers, and Chinese-fusion bites. On any given night, one might find a gaggle of local Scenesters, or even a burlesque show.
Enter the lobby, past vintage suitcases, and head up your private elevator. Inside each two-bedroom floor, huge pop art pieces hang, created by Vancouver Author and Artist, Douglas Coupland.
For those that simply have to go over the top, book the Penthouse. A rooftop, glass-bottom pool is visible snaking all through your ceiling. Climb the stairs to above, and party with pals long into the night in your private pool — fueled by an outdoor wetbar, of course.
