OPUS Profile: Camilla Jadhav
With over a decade spent in the hospitality industry, Camilla now contributes to the OPUS Hotel team as Duty Manager. This true Canadian (Caesars are her cocktail of choice) and North Vancouver native makes her days all about ensuring guests are creating incredible memories. And her smile will get you. Every. Single. Time.
Ask her about…
21 Jump Street. She wanted to be an undercover cop when she was younger.
Favourite OPUS Lifestyle Concierge?
Billy – but that’s probably because I love musicians.
Who would you like to see stay at OPUS?
Michael Fassbender, Nathan Followill, Charlie Hunnam, Ryan Gosling… Oh sorry, you meant just one ;)
Best experience you’ve had with a guest?
Too many to choose just one! It’s a bit dorky just how much I truly enjoy making sure every guest has an amazing experience with us. If I had to narrow it down, I would consider my best guest experiences are when I get to chat with guests beyond the standard greetings and find out about them and their life!
Got a secret of Vancouver?
There are a few small beaches around the seawall. More often than not, if I get there early enough, I can claim my own private beach for the day!
What will get you dancing?
Live music… and a couple drinks!
Money’s no object… where are you traveling to next?
Bora Bora
Favourite Canadian personality?
Fictional – Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables
Non Fictional – George Stroumboulopoulos
Tell me something quirky about you that the average person may not know.
I’m a pretty open book once you know me. However, I loved pickles so much when I was a little girl (and “may” have even drunk pickle juice on occasion), that in turn, I obviously named my cat, Pickles… RIP Pickles Jadhav.

Vancouver Pride Weekend!
As a devoted supporter of the LGBTQ community, OPUS Hotel couldn’t be more excited about the upcoming Pride festivities in Vancouver.

Here are a few events to catch over this long weekend that marks the 35th anniversary of the Vancouver Pride Parade…
Friday, August 2nd
Davie Street Party: From Broughton to Burrard Streets, cars are barricaded and pedestrians are given free rein to dance, cavort, and revel in their uniqueness.
Saturday, August 3rd
Vancouver Dyke March & Festival: The 10 year anniversary begins at noon at McSpadden Park, followed by the festival at Grandview Park at 1pm.
Sunday, August 4th
The Vancouver Pride Parade and Festival kicks off at noon. Follow the winding parade as it marches from Robson to Denman to Pacific.
OPUS Bar will be hosting a live music night with Ali Milner and DJ George V from 7:30pm to 10:30pm.
Wrap yourself in colour, douse your body in glitter, and dance away the weekend celebrating diversity.

The French (Canadian) 75 at OPUS Bar
On a sweltering summer day, our heated bodies need to be cooled down. Popsicles, icicles, fans, anything with some modicum of “chill” to turn down the furnace under our skin.
OPUS Bar has an item to add to your list of summer coolants… The French (Canadian) 75.
Presented in its own petit bottle, the almost traditional cocktail contains Blanche de Chambly, a Quebec white ale, instead of champagne. Barman Martin combines Plymouth Gin, Orange Bitters, and Lemon Simple Syrup within the bubbles of the wheat coloured beverage.
Expect your tongue to fizzle with vibrant and sweet citrus flavours as your body reaches a more desirable temperature. You may even swear you’re in the middle of an orange grove if you close your eyes tightly.

ART+IDENTITY+TRAVEL at OPUS Hotel
Everyone’s wedding should be a unique experience – an event that stands out and splashes across unblinking eyes with brilliant colours and captivating imagery. Heads should continue to turn long after the remarkable day.
Contemporary artist Alana Rothstein, a self-professed lover of hotel rooms, is recreating moments of celebration for brides, grooms, wedding parties, and anyone else staying at OPUS Hotel with the ART+IDENTITY+TRAVEL package. Think dashes of rock and roll, sprinkles of Studio 54, zests of decadence, and flavours of seduction fused together into a freestanding art creation of memories.
Using a collection of images, taken either by the group or by her, she captures a morsel of the guests’ lives to digitally transform onto Plexiglass. After collaboration with guests to ascertain style and vision, she layers the pictures with artfully-placed, vibrant colour.
The chic keepsakes are contemporary and personal, ideal for guests or as cool gifts. Show off a provocative boudoir side, dance off single life with girlfriends, or bond with a best man over scotch.
And if it’s not your wedding, celebrate you and life with an original piece of Plexi-art by Alana Rothstein. We're so excited at OPUS to be working with her on this unique project.
Q&A with Alana Rothstein:
OPUS: Where did you find inspiration for ART+IDENTITY+TRAVEL?
ALANA: ART+IDENTITY+TRAVEL is the result of traveling and taking pictures that never saw the light of day. My work is usually large format, colourful, high-concept art combining multiple images and transforming them digitally onto Plexiglass. I came up with the idea of PLEXI-ART, a mini version or travel size, for the person that loves hotels. It is a souvenir, if you will, that is personal and attractive enough to keep on display in your home or office – not your average snow globe. I immediately knew that OPUS Vancouver was the perfect hotel for the project.
OPUS: What do you love about the project?
ALANA: It brings me in contact with people from all over the world. In interviews with the guests, I get to experience their time in Vancouver through their eyes. Their personal photos give me a glimpse into their world through their lens, and, in turn, it opens my eyes wider.
OPUS: What has been your favourite moment?
ALANA: One of the best projects was a bride-to-be from Vancouver and her bridal party of eight that came in from all over the world. Each one decided to dress as a favourite icon and we created a Vanity Fair-style cocktail party for the shoot in the DEDE suite. It was a night to remember... And yes, there was champagne.
