Want a scotch on the rocks delivered to your door at 4 a.m. at your favourite hotel? That’s now legally possible, with the British Columbia government giving the green light to hotels, resorts and other accommodation spots to deliver liquor to guests by room service 24 hours a day, provided food is also available.
Prior to the change announced Friday, liquor could only be delivered by room service during the hours of operation of the hotel’s licensed establishment.
The latest change creates flexibility for places with overnight accommodations and is a win for the tourism industry, B.C. businesses and consumers, the government said in a release.
