Chinatown - the new hotspot? If the Keefer Hotel & Bar is any indication of what this neighbourhood is slowly developing into - than yes, my friends. Read on.
The building at 135 Keefer was originally built for the Vancouver Gas Company in 1910, and is undergoing a reported $6 Million Dollar facelift from Gair Williamson Architects. The hot new refurbished structure is a blend of natural brick, timber beams and double hung wood-sash windows.
The building contains 4 luxury boutique-style units, and a glass bottomed roof top pool. Not something you see everyday at the bottom of Strathcona. Battersby Howat (Davie Street's 1181 Lounge) is responsible for the high end esthetic of the bar; from it's dark, ominous interior to it's creative cocktails.

The amazing new spot is set to open by Christmas 2009. . .
Vancouver's Chi Town never looked so good.
