The Westin Bayshore is a hotel overlooking Coal Harbour in Vancouver, British Columbia.

[1] The Bayshore Inn was developed by local Vancouver businessmen Hugh Martin and Douglas Welch, through their Marwell Construction company.

Four and a half acres were reclaimed by dumping fill and sinking concrete piles 40 feet down to bedrock.

On March 14, 1972, the world's most famous fugitive billionaire, Howard Hughes, moved into the hotel.

[6] The eccentric business magnate lived in the hotel's three-room, top-floor penthouse for 6 months, and was never seen outside of his room, despite the media's best attempts to photograph him.
