Opus Bar Named Hottest Nightspot by Zagat Survey

OPUS Bar has once again been named the city’s most popular nightspot by Zagat, the world’s leading leisure consumer information provider.

The 2010 Zagat Vancouver guide reports on 298 of the city’s finest restaurants, nightspots, attractions and hotels. “Keep your paparazzi eyes open at this movie star hangout in Yaletown,” says the guide of OPUS Bar praising the “upscale lounge with abundant eye candy.”

“We’re delighted that Zagat have recognized our commitment to provide the best nightlife experience in the city” says General Manager Nicholas Gandossi “its about a multi-sensory experience”. Going beyond the designer setting, talented DJ’s and creative cocktails they are known for, OPUS bar has recently further demonstrated its cutting-edge cool by partnering with celebrated local designer Jason Matlo to outfit cocktail servers in his stylish and sophisticated designs.

OPUS Hotel Vancouver, a “one of a kind boutique hotel…the place in Vancouver to see and be seen” from “the refreshingly hip accommodations, to the hot lobby lounge” and the hotel’s “chic Yaletown bistro” Elixir were also highly rated by the guide.

OPUS Hotel Vancouver was named one of the World’s Top 500 Hotels in the January 2010 issue of Travel + Leisure Magazine.
