Rooftop Bee Tours

Daily at 3 PM | June, July & August
Complimentary for Hotel Guests | Sign up with the Concierge, Front Desk, or Royal Service team.

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 three 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!
