Mother’s Day in Vancouver, BC

Vancouver, Canada is filled with great ideas for Mother’s Day, like a day in Yaletown with wine, champagne and a chauffer.

Mother’s Day in Vancouver is always fun. There are many things to do and places to take that special woman, whether she’s your mom, your mother-in-law, a soon-to-be mom or even a grandmother. It’s also a great excuse to pamper her with good food, a massage and some quality time with her favourite daughter/son/relative, etc…

At the Opus Hotel (604-642-0557, 350 Davie Street), Elixir bistro moderne is hosting a Mother’s Day brunch from 11:00am – 3:30pm. Two-course, $29.50 CDN and three-course, $36.50 CDN options are available, with things like buttermilk pancakes and wild BC salmon.

While you’re there, enter to win a “Mother and Daughter Opus and Michael Kors Shop and Stay Experience.” Yes, this is a $500 shopping spree at the Michael Kors store at Oakridge Centre, chauffeured service to and from the mall (in a 7 series BMW), one night’s accommodation in a deluxe guestroom at the Opus Hotel, and breakfast for two in the morning. Um, yeah, good deal!

For even more luxury, Absolute Spa (604-684-2772, 1015 Burrard Street) is running specials on Mother’s Day luxury spa treatments. From the massage or body wrap in a bed of roses ($95-$105 CDN) and four hour Hawaiian Vacation (a mix of Lomi Lomi massage, a pedicure, body buff, and body wrap in coconut mango aromas- $315 CDN), to manicures and pedicures for two people ($120 CDN per person) and gift cards, your mother can have anything she wants.
