Skwachàys Lodge features 18 rooms uniquely designed by six Vancouver hotel designers partnered with Indigenous artists, creating art installations in each unit. Rooms include an opulent Hypnos bed, a 43" HD TV, free high-speed Wi-Fi, a writing desk, a fridge, and a microwave. They also provide hi-def cable, plush linens, hypoallergenic duvets, fluffy pillows, a cordless telephone with voicemail, and free North America long-distance calling. Ensuite bathrooms offer walk-in showers and Mother Earth Essentials bath products. Each room also has a tea kettle with Paisley Teas, fluffy bathrobes, and an iron with an ironing board. Rooms such as the King Salmon Room feature a pullout couch.

Leisure: Sweat Lodge

Guests can explore the Dr Sun Yat Sen Classical Chinese Garden, the Cultural Centre, the Millennium Gate, the World's Narrowest Building, the Dynasty Bell, and the Jimi Hendrix Shrine. Skwachàys offers private Sweat Lodge Purification Ceremonies, led by a Sweat Lodge Keeper who adheres to Indigenous traditions, placing heated rocks in the Sweat Lodge, which is located in the rooftop garden.

Location: Downtown Vancouver

Skwachàys Lodge is in Downtown Vancouver, a shopping hub with chain and luxury boutiques and the CF Pacific Centre mall. Gastown, the historical and cultural heart of Vancouver established in 1867, is nearby. Landmarks close to the hotel include BC Place Stadium (1 km), Harbour Centre Lookout Tower (0.5 km), and Stanley Park (3.5 km).

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.”
