Reflections: The Garden Terrace is set to transform from the summer’s idyllic outdoor patio into a festive winter wonderland, just in time for the holiday season. Located in Rosewood Hotel Georgia – Vancouver’s landmark luxury hotel – the all-new makeover of the elegant al fresco bar and lounge will allow guests to enjoy the space for the first time ever during winter months.

The perfect spot for a warm winter cocktail and quick bite after a day of holiday shopping, this intimate lounge space is now open, decked out with twinkling Christmas trees, posies of mistletoe and over-sized candles. Heat lamps throughout ensure a toasty evening – and for extra chilly nights, can cozy up on comfortable couches complete with plush blankets.

Created by Executive Head Chef Harold Lemos, the hearty winter terrace menu includes the lounge’s signature share plates along with new festive additions ranging from Georgia Cheese Fondue to Braised Beef Cheek Crousillants and Turkey-Sage Sausage Rolls to a Pizza Maitake with confit mushroom, caramelized onion, roasted garlic cream and Okanagan chèvre.

Along with classic winter sippers such as hot toddies, mulled wine and an extensive range of whiskies, the hotel’s award-winning bartenders are serving up Christmas-inspired concoctions, including the Little Helper with Mount Gay Eclipse rum, port and topped with eggnog as well as Scrooged Up with Tito’s Handmade Vodka, mandarin orange juice, lemon, winter syrup and topped with a chocolate egg white foam and nutmeg.
After attending the lounge’s media preview earlier this week, I highly recommend the Scrooged Up!
The new holiday transformation follows on the recent refresh of Reflections earlier this year that included the addition of foliage, vibrant flowers, sumptuous greenery and soft lighting inspired by the tranquility of the Northwest Pacific region.
Reflections: The Garden Terrace is located within the inner courtyard of the hotel’s fourth floor and is open daily through December 30 from 4 pm to 10 pm. Visit Rosewood Hotels online for more details.
