Business travellers are expecting more from their hotel stays than just a place to lay their heads. Read on to discover how these Canadian hotels are elevating their game.

 

At a recent stay at the Andaz Ottawa ByWard Market, hotel guests were invited to an Andaz Salon, in the second-floor studios where they could meet the artist who designed the 2017 Tulip Festival logo for the city’s famous spring festival. The Salon is an event series that extends across the entire brand of 14 hotels and was created to reflect the creative spirit and local influences of each property’s environment.

 

The Andaz, part of the Hyatt Hotels Corporation, is known for immersing its guests in the sights, sounds and culture of each destination. Ottawa born and raised, Chef Stephen La Salle curates the Canadian-inspired menu emphasizing local, organic and sustainable products. This boutique hotel features art pieces curated by the Canada Council Art Bank and locally sourced amenities in each of the 200 rooms.

 

The hotel’s Copper Spirits & Sights rooftop terrace has fantastic views of Parliament Hill, the majestic Ottawa River and surrounding region.

 

The Loden Hotel is perfectly situated in downtown Vancouver, close to mountains, the sea shore and breathtaking scenery. Taking advantage of its natural surroundings, the Loden features a WanderFIT night hike. This three-hour privately guided tour takes you through the North Shore mountains and forests for the perfect view of the sparkling city below. Bath salts to soothe sore muscles await your return to the hotel.

 

The night hike is part of the overall WanderFIT program that also features daytime hiking, cycling and trekking, suited to your fitness level and preferences. Exploring an array of hidden routes and trails, these experiences elevate your fitness levels on the road and broaden your Vancouver experience.

GOOD TO KNOW


MEETINGS + EVENTS

Safe Keeping
The Canadian event industry needs to have a united strategy to deal with security threats and ensure the safety of attendees. That was the message of the recent Event Security Round Table hosted by The International Centre and organized by Trevor Lui, the Centre’s director of operations & sustainability. In attendance were representatives from PCMA, CAEM, CanSPEP, MPI Toronto, ILEA Toronto, The International Centre, Exhibition Place and Tone-Gar Security Services. While the discussion is in its early stages, the intent is to gather data, increase education and communication on the topic, and develop standard guidelines. Stay tuned: We’ll be exploring event security and risk management in the September issue of Ignite.




CORPORATE TRAVEL MANAGEMENT

Eye in the Sky
A biometric boarding pass is being tested at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport for Delta Airlines passengers already enrolled in the SkyMiles club or enrolled in the CLEAR program. Using their fingerprints, those members can board a flight without a paper or mobile boarding pass. The next phase would allow members to use their prints to check a bag and board a flight.  Other airlines experimenting with facial biometrics include JetBlue on flights between Boston and Aruba.




INCENTIVES + REWARDS

Less is More
With the recent delivery of the Silver Muse, Silversea Cruises expands its fleet to nine ships. This ultra-luxurious cruise line features large, all-suite cabins, all with ocean views. All guests have the personalized attention of a butler and the nearly one-to-one personnel to guest ratio means that every demand is anticipated and delivered. The smaller size of the Silversea fleet means the ships have access to smaller ports and secluded destinations unavailable to larger cruise lines.
