CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE!!!

Monday, March 25th, 2013

At the Sunset Inn we really really do love chocolate and we are pretty sure that many of you love the Chocolate too! So we are going to recommend some of the best little Chocolate shops in town.

If you are unsure about these little sweet treats, why not buy a box and use the Sunset Inn Staff as Guinea Pigs – we are all about the customer service and if we need to take the fall and test your chocolate just come to us at the front desk and we will taste test the product…

There are a few Chocolate makers in the area worth mentioning as they are not only at the top of their game, but, they are also world renowned and proudly Canadian – they have truly stuck to their methods and their roots.

First up is our Manager of the Inn Michael’s pick – he mentioned this place without hesitation – so his choice of chocolate is at Thierrys.

THIERRY | CHOCOLATE PATISSERIE CAFE
Located not too far away on ROBSON ST in the heart of the Vancouver Shopping district. This cute Patasserie will delight your taste buds with their incredible selection of sweets and other delightful delicacies….it will just be like dining at a wonderful Parisian cafe.

ROGERS CHOCOLATE – GRANVILLE ISLAND
Rogers were founded in Victoria on Vancouver Island way back in 1885 when Charles ‘Candy’ Rogers would make Candies and sell them from the back of his shop in Victoria…he then went onto become a successfull choclate maker and the rest as they say is history….

Happy Easter

Tuesday, April 3rd, 2012

Hello everybody, looking outside we feel confident that it is going to be a very pleasant Spring, and all in time for us to celebrate the Easter Season.

So Happy Easter to you all, we will like to put you in the right direction of events and places of worship if you are looking for somewhere to celebrate this very famous occasion on the Christian Calender. If you are just celebrating as you have some days off, we are sure we can find something for all the family to enjoy.

At the Sunset Inn, this time of year marks a major transition from Winter Season to Summer season, and it is now just a matter of weeks before the Cruise Ships start to move in and welcome the tourists from all over the globe, many of whom are getting ready for the big cruise north to Alaska. This means that the hotel and Vancouver will be getting very very busy and the city now has its lively summer hat on, we feel it is is going to be yet another busy and fun packed summer, so please keep up to date with the blog as we will keep you up to date on all that will be going on.
