Our Story
Where elegance meets tranquility in the heart of Canada
Where elegance meets tranquility in the heart of Canada
Back in 2011, our founders stumbled upon this incredible property during a rainy Vancouver afternoon. They weren't even looking for it - just got lost on the way to a business meeting, honestly. But there was something about the place that just... clicked. The views, the energy, the way the mountains seemed to embrace the landscape.
They'd both spent time in Scandinavia and fell in love with that whole Nordic approach to wellness - you know, the idea that luxury doesn't have to be stuffy or pretentious. It's about feeling genuinely good in your own skin. So they thought, why not bring that vibe to Vancouver?
Three years of renovations later, Luminthar Quinth opened its doors. The name's a bit unusual, we'll admit - it's actually a combination of words from old Nordic texts meaning 'light' and 'essence.' Sounds fancy, but really it's just about creating a space where people can recharge.

We're not trying to be everything to everyone - that's just exhausting for everybody involved. Instead, we focus on what we're actually good at: creating spaces where people can properly unwind without all the noise.
Our Nordic-inspired approach isn't about following trends or copying what's been done before. It's about understanding that real luxury is personal, quiet, and honestly pretty simple when you strip away all the unnecessary stuff. Clean lines, natural materials, and an atmosphere that lets you breathe.
Every detail here - from the locally-sourced breakfast ingredients to the custom-designed spa treatments - has been chosen because it actually adds something meaningful to your stay. Not because it looks good in photos, but because it feels right.
Vancouver's always been this amazing mix of cultures and landscapes, right? We've got mountains, ocean, forests - all within reach. Our restaurant reflects that diversity. Chef Maria works directly with farmers and fishermen from the region, building menus around what's actually in season.
The wellness center draws inspiration from Scandinavian traditions but we've adapted everything to fit our Pacific Northwest setting. Our signature treatment uses local cedar and sea salt - it sounds simple but trust me, after a long flight or a hectic week, it works wonders.
We've hosted guests from over 40 countries, and what they tell us they appreciate most isn't the fancy amenities - it's that we've created something authentic to this place while still feeling welcoming to everyone.
Each of our 14 suites has its own character. Some guests have their favorites and book the same room every visit - we take that as a compliment.
Our therapists aren't following scripts - they'll actually adjust treatments based on what your body needs that day. Revolutionary concept, we know.
Farm-to-table isn't just marketing speak here. Chef Maria can literally tell you which farm your dinner came from and probably has their phone number.
Business meetings don't have to feel like business meetings. Our event spaces actually have natural light and decent coffee - imagine that.
Our concierge team lives here and loves showing off their city. They'll steer you away from tourist traps and toward the real gems.
State-of-the-art gym equipment plus easy access to hiking trails. Because sometimes the best workout happens outside four walls.
We'd love to show you around. Give us a call or stop by - we're pretty easy to find on Maple Ridge Drive, and there's always someone here who's happy to chat about what we do.
