"The Waldorf began with good people, a common vision, and many hands coming together. It was good to feel a part of that and it was good to see Vancouverites come out in the numbers they did." -- Michael Turner, Author.

"The Waldorf closing is a big loss to our growing creative community, they built a great culture hub." -- Mayor Gregor Robertson

"I'm sad to see it go. It was the coolest, most intelligent watering hole the city's ever had... It points out just how little flexible space there is in Vancouver. Everyone knows it's getting too expensive for a creative class to live here any longer." -- Douglas Coupland, Artist and Author.

"The dedicated crew took over a languishing old hotel and in two short years turned it into a unique and vital cultural centre. There was nothing else like it in the city." -- Rodney Graham, Artist.

"The Waldorf has become an essential part of Vancouver's cultural landscape. To lose it now would be tragic." -- Stan Douglas, Artist

"The Waldorf was such a staple for me whenever I was in Vancouver. So much verity and vision under one roof. I'm really going to miss playing and making music there." -Skrillex, Musician

"It was the coolest thing to happen to Vancouver in the past however many years. It had great vision. It was just beginning to realize its amazing potential. What a loss." -Jeffrey Boone, Executive Director of the East Side Culture Crawl.
