Family-run hotels offer more than luxury, they can feel like home
Having a hotel that truly feels like home, where the guests feel more like family and friends, is at the heart of what makes the Wedgewood Hotel so special. As a three-generation, female-owned and operated family hotel, this philosophy is woven into the foundation of who we are and how we show up for our guests every day.
It was incredibly meaningful to see this story captured in a recent article by Catherine Dawson March in The Globe and Mail.
The piece highlights family-run properties around the world that offer outstanding hospitality, including the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni in Italy, Le Germain Hotel in Toronto, and the Grand Hotel Courmayeur Mont Blanc. We are honoured to be mentioned among such celebrated hotels that share a commitment to the excellence.
The article also highlights the role of Elpie Marinakis and her daughter Eleni Marinakis-Jackson, and how their shared vision continues to shape the Wedgewood today. Just as she once learned from her mother, Eleni Skalbania, Elpie now instills that same legacy of care, instinct, and hospitality to the next generation. Eleni Jr brings a fresh perspective and creative energy that resonates with a new generation of travellers, while staying true to the values that have long defined the hotel.
By honouring these ideals while continuing to evolve with the times, the Wedgewood remains not only iconic, but culturally relevant within Vancouver’s ever-changing landscape!
