The developer who’s purchased Vancouver’s Waldorf Hotel says he has no plans to tear down the popular music and nightclub venue, but that hasn’t stopped Vancouver’s mayor from jumping on the bandwagon to save the building from the wrecker’s ball.
Gregor Robertson says he’s directed the city manager to report back to council with options for “protecting” the Waldorf.
The mayor calls the hotel a “significant cultural amenity and a major neighbourhood asset.”
