Located in the heart of Vancouver’s historic downtown this stunning addition to Vancouver’s urban landscape offers guests an authentic Aboriginal experience while offering the highest quality personalized service, top rated creature comforts and as we have been told – the best beds in town. Condé Nast just recommended us as the best place to sleep in the neighbourhood! What is truly unique about Skwachàys is that it is at the same time as being a top of line boutique hotel it has been created using a new, sustainable model for supportive housing so your travel dollars are providing real housing solutions in Vancouver. This social enterprise and the Urban Aboriginal Fair Trade Gallery is owned by the Vancouver Native Housing Society and the profit from the operation of the hotel and gallery provides the ongoing monthly subsidy for 24 urban Aboriginal live/work studios.
