Empire Landmark Hotel

Vancouver, Canada

The 1009th tallest building in the world

120 m · 394 ft

The Empire Landmark Hotel, often referred to by its original name, the Sheraton Landmark, was the tallest hotel in Vancouver, British Columbia. It was located on one of Vancouver's busiest thoroughfares at 1400 Robson Street, in the West End of Downtown Vancouver. The building was revolutionary at the time, as it had a revolving restaurant on its top floor, Cloud 9, which was one of only two revolving restaurants in Vancouver, the other being the Harbour Centre. Between its completion in 1973 and the completion of nearby Bentall Centre in 1974, the Empire Landmark Hotel was the third tallest building in Vancouver. The skyscraper is the tallest voluntarily demolished building in Canada, overtaking the 88 m (289 ft) tall Old Toronto Star Building that was demolished in 1972.
