Rooms & Suites
The Exchange Hotel Vancouver offers 202 rooms and suites with custom-designed furnishings and large marble bathrooms.

Dining at Hydra
Hydra Estiatorio Mediterranean & Bar serves Greek-inspired dishes like paper-thin zucchini chips with tzatziki and Saganaki cheese. The restaurant sources ingredients from Greece, including award-winning olive oil and Haloumi cheese. Breakfast options include Greek yogurt with saffron honey and peach compote. The bar offers handcrafted cocktails and an award-winning wine list. Private dining is available for groups up to 150.
Fitness & Events
The 24/7 fitness center has Peloton bikes, elliptical trainers, and free weights. The hotel hosts events in a 60-foot atrium or the 1,200-square-foot Townley Studio, equipped with smart technology. Catering services include Mediterranean breakfast spreads and happy hour buffets.
Downtown Location
The hotel is on Howe Street, steps from Holt Renfrew and Cartier. Canada Place and the Vancouver Convention Centre are a 4-minute walk. Stanley Park is 15 minutes away. The Vancouver Harbour Flight Centre seaplane terminal is 300 meters from the hotel.
Eco-Friendly Design
The hotel is Vancouver's first LEED Platinum heritage conversion. Features include energy-efficient ceiling-based heating/cooling, LED lighting, and water-saving bathroom fixtures. Non-potable water is used for toilets. The building retains the original 1929 Stock Exchange facade.
“This is a rare find: a LEED Platinum heritage conversion where modern luxury meets historical significance. The location downtown is ideal, and I appreciate the commitment to sustainability; the attention to detail, like L'Occitane shower products, elevates the experience, though the central AC system could pose individual comfort challenges. Overall, this hotel distinguishes itself with its unique blend of eco-consciousness and sophisticated design.”
