Louis Vuitton, in keeping with the hotel’s French style, stands out. The newly redesigned store on the hotel’s ground floor is not only aligned with the hotel’s ambiance, but also exemplifies the brand’s dedication to craftsmanship and cuttingedge design. Inside the store, a grand circular staircase takes centre stage, serving as a focal point for the warm and timeless design. Masterfully crafted, it’s a testament to the skills of local artisans. It seamlessly connects the first and second floors, each dedicated to showcasing the Women’s and Men’s universes, respectively. Fittingly, the interiors celebrate the Art of Travel at the heart of both Louis Vuitton and the premises. Fine art and design from across the world accent every section, all brimming with a luminous kaleidoscope of colours that reflect the city’s unparalleled natural beauty. Several pieces were commissioned specifically for the store, including a painting by Italian artist Isadora Capraro that was designed with remarkable ingenuity to hang on a curved wall. Undulating with prismatic waves, the Capraro is flanked by an amber-coloured Hélène de Saint Lager coffee table and a poetic Henri Bursztyn chandelier. Canadian artists are also a key focus. Montreal-based Heidi Spector’s bold, striped composition was created on Russian birch and then coated in resin to create a confection-like surface. A geometric, threedimensional canvas by local artist Scott Sueme is another standout custom creation. Raised in Vancouver on the unceded traditional territory of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations, Sueme’s works explore the intersection of quality and perception of colour. Featuring seasonal collections such as the chic LV Ski and Lunar New Year capsules, alongside signature Louis Vuitton pieces, the Louis Vuitton Hotel Vancouver store also provides bespoke customization options from on-site hot-stamping, perfume bottle engraving and hosts a LV Paris apprenticed artisan for personalization of the Maison’s historic hardsided trunks.
