Vancouver, BC (October 13, 2026): The Westin Bayshore, Vancouver has been named British Columbia’s Best MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions) Hotel at the 2026 World MICE Awards, marking its fourth consecutive year receiving the honour. This recognition reflects the hotel’s continued leadership and commitment to delivering exceptional, creative and memorable experiences for meetings and events.
Set between Vancouver’s waterfront and Stanley Park, The Westin Bayshore, Vancouver offers more than a traditional meeting venue. Combining flexible event spaces, innovative technology and an experienced in-house team, the hotel works closely with groups to bring their vision to life, transforming its spaces into immersive, memorable experiences tailored to each event’s audience and objectives.
Transforming Events: The Infinity Wall
At the heart of the hotel’s experiential event offering is The Infinity Wall, the largest high-definition LED screen in a hotel ballroom in North America. Located within the 15,500-square-foot Bayshore Grand Ballroom, the expansive installation provides a dynamic canvas for storytelling, entertainment, branding and immersive experiences. Its motorized panels can separate into three distinct sections or merge into one continuous display, allowing the space to be transformed for a wide range of event concepts.
Since its introduction, The Infinity Wall has expanded the possibilities for events within the Bayshore Grand Ballroom, offering groups a dynamic canvas for everything from large-scale presentations and branded environments to live sports viewing, interactive gaming and competitions.
Recent activations demonstrate its versatility:
• BayScore: Transformed the ballroom into a soccer viewing destination, broadcasting live matches across the Infinity Wall alongside stadium-inspired food and beverages and interactive activities, demonstrating the potential for corporate watch parties and large-scale group celebrations.
• LEVEL UP Games Room: Reimagines the 15,000-square-foot ballroom as a neon-lit entertainment destination featuring arcade games, console gaming, pickleball, curling and more, showcasing opportunities for interactive team-building and corporate celebrations.
• Masters of the Craft: Brought Marriott's culinary, beverage and pastry talent together for a live skills competition, demonstrating how the Infinity Wall can elevate competitions of all kinds through live camera feeds, dynamic visuals and real-time audience engagement.
Together, these experiences illustrate how meeting and event planners can leverage the Infinity Wall to create customized events that go beyond traditional presentations, bringing together technology, entertainment and interactive programming to engage and connect attendees.
Beyond the Infinity Wall: Experiences Across the Hotel
The hotel’s experiential approach extends beyond the Infinity Wall, with versatile event spaces and creative programming that transform traditional meetings into more engaging experiences. From the signature Bayshore Buzz Honeybee Apiary Break, featuring honey produced by the hotel’s own bees, to themed afternoon teas and interactive chef-led action stations, the hotel offers distinctive ways to bring creativity and connection into group gatherings.
That same approach carries throughout the property, where the amenities of a waterfront urban resort open up even more possibilities for groups. A year-round heated outdoor pool, cedar barrel saunas, Vida Spa and signature wellness experiences such as Liquid Yoga offer opportunities to recharge between sessions, while H Tasting Lounge and H2 Kitchen + Bar provide distinctive settings for dining and socializing. Together, these experiences allow planners to think beyond the meeting room and make the entire property part of the event experience.
