The worlds' premier athletes and spectators from around the globe were gathering in Vancouver and the Alpine Resort Whistler in February and March 2010 to celebrate winter sporting excellence. One of the most scenic cities in North America (which I'm glad to call my home city) hosted 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

For those who wanted to attend this exciting sport event, we were offering all types of accommodation in Vancouver and Whistler, from moderate hotels to high-end downtown apartments and beautiful Alpine Chalets, comfortably located close to Olympic arenas. We offered stunning high-end apartments and condos with panoramic views of the ocean and downtown Vancouver, just steps from Vancouver's Olympic Arenas, private villas, luxurious yachts docked in a central part of the City, hotel rooms in picturesque Vancouver and neighboring Richmond, home of the Richmond Oval, ski-in/ski-out Chalets in Whistler overlooking Olympic alpine-ski slopes.

It was a great experience, and very successful event. Thank you all the clients who trusted us for their accommodation in Olympic Vancouver, and who made our Olympic sales huge.
