The Story Behind The Empire
Look, we didn't just build another fancy hotel and call it a day. The Obsidrix Empire started from a vision - creating something that actually felt different in Vancouver's hospitality scene. No cookie-cutter experiences here.
The Foundation
Started with an ambitious idea and a prime location on West Georgia. The neighborhood thought we were crazy trying to redefine luxury hospitality, but that's kinda what drove us forward.
Grand Opening
Opened our doors with 87 executive suites. The response? Way beyond what we'd hoped. Turns out people were actually craving this blend of boutique charm and executive-level service.
Raising The Bar
Added the rooftop restaurant and spa facilities. Honestly, watching the sunset from up there while guests enjoy their evening - that's when you know you've created something special.
Adapting & Evolving
Tough times pushed us to innovate. We upgraded our tech, redesigned spaces for flexibility, and somehow came out stronger. Our team really showed what they're made of during this period.
Where We Stand Today
Still family-owned, still obsessed with getting the details right. We've welcomed guests from 60+ countries, hosted countless events, and built relationships that matter. This isn't just business for us anymore.
Recognition & Awards
We're not gonna lie - getting recognized for what we do feels pretty amazing. But what really matters is knowing we've earned it through genuine care and attention.
