Prince Harry and Meghan arrived in Vancouver last night, beaming as they pulled up to the ultra-luxurious Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex touched down at around 5:30pm, having flown in by private charter jet from Santa Barbara airport near their Montecito home.
The couple travelled in a three-car convoy from the airport, accompanied by their regular bodyguard, former secret service agent Chris Sanchez.
Despite freezing temperatures, onlookers gathered to welcome the pair, with Meghan spotted wearing a blue top and brown coat.
Three staff members from the Fairmont Pacific Rim stood guard at the underground car park entrance, ensuring the prince's convoy could proceed unimpeded.
The Mail reports that the couple are staying in the hotel's prestigious Chairman's Suite, a £5,000-per-night accommodation nicknamed the 'Rock Star Suite'.
The two-storey luxury space features a custom 8-foot Swarovski crystal chandelier cascading over the living area.
The master bedroom, situated on the top floor, comes complete with a fireplace, king-size bed and a sprawling 500 sq ft marble bathroom with a hand-carved soaker tub.
Previous guests of the exclusive suite have included Hollywood star Tom Cruise and singer Ed Sheeran.
The suite boasts its own private elevator and a rooftop patio offering expansive views across the city.
This marks the seventh edition of the Invictus Games, established by Prince Harry in 2014.
More than 500 competitors from 23 nations will gather in Vancouver for the event.
In a historic first, this year's Games will feature winter sports, expanding the competition's scope for wounded and disabled military veterans.
The Games are set to begin today at the Vancouver Convention Centre, where most of the indoor sports will take place.
The venue is conveniently connected to the Fairmont hotel via an underground tunnel, allowing easy access for the Duke and Duchess.
Harry and Meghan will spend three nights in Vancouver before relocating to Whistler for the adaptive winter sports portion of the Games.
The Fairmont Pacific Rim, rated as British Columbia's most luxurious hotel, offers the couple amenities including a heated outdoor pool with cabanas.

The hotel also features a spa complete with meditation pods and an infrared sauna, providing a comfortable base for their Vancouver stay.
A source close to the couple highlighted Meghan's commitment to the Games, which she has attended four times previously.
"Her attendance underscores her support for her husband and the mission of Invictus, a cause that is deeply personal to both of them," the source said.
"While the Duchess has several exciting projects on the horizon, her family remains her top priority."
The source added: "Her focus at the Games will be on uplifting her husband, the competitors, and sharing their stories."
