Paradox Hotel & Tower

Vancouver, B.C. Canada

Designed 2005 with Nick Milkovich Architects, MCM, and DYS Architecture

The building mass is a simple, dynamic, spiral form, with the same triangular floor plate from the bottom

to the top with a gradual rotation. The residences are located above the hotel, capturing some of the most

inspiring views the city has to offer, and providing a dramatic edition to Vancouver's unique downtown

skyline. The distinctive twisting form reaches 613 metres or 63 storeys.

The building was originally designed for the Ritz-Carlton Hotel & Residences on the same site, but that

ended after the 2008 financial crisis put the project on hold. The design was modified and it opened as the

Trump International Hotel & Tower until 2020, when it closed after the accumulated impact of COVID 19

on its financial situation.

Holborn Properties are the owners and developers of the overall site, which is a stunning addition to

downtown Vancouver.
