Two Marriott hotel brands break ground
Developer Paul Y. Construction (B.C) Ltd. has broken ground on a new 30-storey tower in downtown Vancouver, which will bring together two Marriott International brands: Moxy Hotels and Element by Westin.
Set to open in summer 2028, the dual-branded hotel at 848–850 Seymour Street will offer guests a choice between Moxy’s bold, social energy and Element’s relaxed, residential-inspired comfort.
“We’re proud to collaborate with Marriott to bring this bold, dual-branded vision to life in downtown Vancouver,” said Gary Tso, managing director, Paul Y. Construction (B.C) Ltd. “Moxy and Element deliver distinct experiences, but together, they form one cohesive destination. One skyline. Two hotels. Connected by Marriott.”
On the ground floor and podium level, Moxy Hotels will feature its signature Bar Moxy lobby bar that doubles as the check-in area, a lively social lounge, and a hidden speakeasy bar offering an exclusive late-night escape. Higher up, Element by Westin will cater to longer stays with a mix of studios and suites, fully equipped kitchenettes, and a focus on wellness and sustainability. There is a sky lobby lounge and open-air rooftop retreat, designed as a calm oasis above the city.
“This exciting project marks an exciting milestone in Marriott’s growth across Western Canada,” says Duncan Chiu, vice-president, Lodging Development – Western Canada, Marriott International. “Pairing Moxy and Element in one urban tower reflects the evolving needs of today’s traveller — whether in town for a quick night out or an extended stay. It’s a unique blend of playful design and purposeful hospitality in the heart of the city.”
Designed by architectural firm Perkins&Will, the 390 thoughtfully designed rooms, vibrant street-level activation, and a strong focus on guest experience reflects a bold statement about the next generation of hospitality in the city.
