How three generations of women have kept Vancouver's Wedgewood Hotel independent
The Hornby Street boutique hotel across from Robson Square remains family-run, with a third-generation hotelier in operations.
BCBusiness profiled the Wedgewood Hotel on Hornby Street in Vancouver, across from Robson Square and the Vancouver Law Courts, and the three generations of women who have kept it independent.
Eleni Jackson, the hotel's operations manager and a third-generation hotelier, showed the magazine details that define the property, from a custom signature scent of tuberose and frangipani to bronze flourishes, potted orchids and an antique marble fireplace in the lobby.
The profile describes a family business that has chosen to stay independent.
Independent hotels compete on detail and reputation, and increasingly on their direct online booking, reviews and guest communication, areas where small operators now use the same digital tools as large brands.
