A
hotel stay can be the foundation of a travel experience. For a unique
Pacific Rim experience, try Listel Vancouver, in Vancouver, British
Columbia or the Ritz Carlton in Hong Kong. Listel is a boutique
hotel whose upper floor rooms are decorated gallery-style with several
pieces of real art in each suite. And the Ritz is, well, the Ritz.
Remember the friendlier Canadian dollar makes luxury hotels in that
nation more accessible for vacationers toting US money or credit
cards.
