Rooftop Bee Tours

Daily at 3 PM | June, July & August
Complimentary for Guests | Sign up at the Concierge Desk

Join us for a guided rooftop Bee Tour, offered daily at 3 PM, led by our passionate in-house Bee Team. Guests will gather in the hotel lobby before heading to our lush 2,100-square-foot rooftop garden, home to four thriving hives and nearly 250,000 honeybees each summer.

Since 1995, this urban sanctuary and Vancouver’s first green roof, has supported over 400 native bee species and championed sustainable practices in partnership with Pollinator Partnership Canada. On your tour, you’ll learn about the vital role bees play in our ecosystem, observe the inner workings of a live hive (you might even spot the queen!). From pollinator-inspired cocktails to our certified “Bee & Bee” hotel for mason bees, this is more than a tour, it’s a deep dive into the delicious and essential world of bees.

After the tour, savour a sweet ending in ARC Restaurant with a complimentary scoop of honey lavender gelato!

POLLINATOR MENU
Our Province to Plate menu celebrates the flavours of British Columbia through a thoughtfully curated, seasonal three-course experience. Each dish is crafted in collaboration with local farmers, fishers, and artisans, highlighting the region’s freshest ingredients at their peak. Rotating regularly, this menu reflects our commitment to sustainability and local sourcing.
This summer, don’t miss our special pollinator-friendly dessert, made with honey from our rooftop hives. It’s a sweet tribute to the bees that help bring each harvest to life.
