Services: Indigenous Art
Skwachàys Lodge provides a platform to showcase local Indigenous art and culture. Guests can ask in the lobby gallery about souvenirs, including hand-made moccasins and bentwood boxes. The Urban Aboriginal Fair Trade Gallery features Indigenous artwork, including paintings, prints, jewelry, pottery, and wood carvings, purchasing most original works from local artists. Skwachàys Lodge provides an affordable development space for many Indigenous artists, actors, and musicians.
“This property stands out as a social enterprise that directly supports Indigenous communities. The themed rooms, co-designed with local artists, provide a culturally rich experience, while its downtown location allows easy access to Gastown and other major Vancouver attractions. I appreciate the hotel's commitment to urban Indigenous groups through fair trade initiatives and community workshops.”
