Description
The Hotel Metropole (originally known as the Travellers Hotel) is a five-storey masonry commercial building constructed in 1910.
The building is an example of the classically inspired architecture of the Edwardian era. The architect was W.T. Whiteway (1856-1940). The contractor was J.M. McLuckie, a pioneer Vancouver contractor who became well-known for numerous commercial and residential commissions.
The hotel was an investment property originally owned by Dr. Robert Clarke Boyle (1869-1926), a prominent physician and surgeon in Vancouver and president of the Vancouver Medical Association.
