It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! The LEVEL crew has been in the Christmas spirit since we started decorating the lobby on the 1st of the month. Of course we want our guests to always feel at home and nothing is more ‘home’ than a beautiful tree, wreaths and 24 hour Christmas tunes flowing through the already red themed lobby! And not to toot our own horn too much, but we are receiving continuous flow of compliments on the little Christmas wonderland feel as you stroll through the doors. Now for all our guests who are staying in Vancouver through the holidays we’ve compiled a list of the best Christmas activities to do this season.
