This year I’ve had the opportunity to stay at three of KiwiCollection.com’s luxurious properties: Ashford Castle, The Merrion, and the Hotel Cipriani.  Now you have a chance to do the same.  KiwiCollection.com is sponsoring my prize for Passports with Purpose: a two-night stay at the Shangri-La Hotel in Vancouver, B.C.


Named for James Hilton’s fictional paradise, the Shangri-La Hotel strives to bring paradise to Vancouver with a distinctly Asian flavor.  From your elegantly appointed room, you’ll be bathed in light by the floor-to-ceiling windows looking out on Vancouver’s streets and toward the mountains. 

And all of the luxuries of this five-star hotel are at your command.  Dine at Market by Jean-Georges, the hotel’s fine-dining restaurant which has won rave reviews. Relax at CHI, the spa at Shangri-La, where the staff will pamper you in soothing elegance. 
The Prize:
A two-night stay for two at Vancouver's most luxurious hotel, the Shangri-La Hotel courtesy of The Gypsy’s Guide and KiwiCollection.com.
