Probably not. I suggest doing Shabbos in Vancouver - there are some hotels inside the eruv. It's not in central Vancouver per say, but you can see very nice views from there and the neighborhood is generally very nice.
Can you name some hotels that in the eruv

Not sure your current mileage stash will support that kind of SPG property for 5 days. If yes, it would be close.

Do you plan on spending all your time at the hotel that you want that kind of property?

You can check different destinations and then search on SPG to see what they have to offer.
