The Paradox Vancouver, formerly known as the Trump International Hotel and Tower Vancouver, is a residential skyscraper and hotel in Downtown Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The 60-storey, 188-metre (617 ft) tower in which the hotel is located is at 1151 West Georgia Street and was completed in 2016. The tower is the second tallest building in Vancouver, after the Shangri-La tower located across West Georgia Street.
The triangular tower, designed by architect Arthur Erickson, twists gradually, with increasing elevation, up to 45 degrees from bottom to top. Similar to Absolute World in Mississauga, Ontario and Turning Torso in Malmö, Sweden, the building's design resembles a hyperbolic paraboloid.
In 2020, the Trump International Hotel and Tower Vancouver closed. Over 250 employees had already been temporarily laid off due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Hotel employees had reported that they learned of the hotel closure from the media or they were informed without warning that they had lost their jobs.
Minor renovations and rebranding on the Vancouver tower began in late 2021, including the removal of all “TRUMP” branded exterior building signage. The hotel re-opened in April 2022 as the Paradox.
