August 4, 2010; Vancouver, B.C. - Who better to help plan your time in Vancouver than the Metropolitan Hotel Vancouver's own Clef d'Or concierge? With the hotel's new "Vancouver for Beginners" package, guests get to sit down for a private coffee consultation with a concierge to work out how to best spend their time in the city, getting personal recommendations for the top sights, restaurants and activities to suit the interests and needs of the individual guest.

"Many of our guests visiting Vancouver for the first time only have a couple of days to explore the city and it can be overwhelming to decide what to see," said Metropolitan Hotel Vancouver general manager, Kari Koskela. "Our concierge knows this city inside and out. Their expertise and knowledge ensures our guests an itinerary that will exceed their expectations and meet their needs during their stay in this beautiful city."

Along with a coffee meeting with our concierge, the package includes:
- Two nights' accommodation in a luxury suite;
- Valet parking;
- Two "hop-on, hop-off" Vancouver Trolley sightseeing tour passes (each valid for two days); and
- A city welcome kit including maps and guides to Vancouver.

Prices for the package start at $385 for two nights (excluding applicable taxes) and are based on double occupancy. For reservations, please visit the website at www.metropolitan.com/packages or call toll-free 1-800-667-2300.
