Rooms & Suites

The Exchange Hotel Vancouver offers 202 rooms and suites with custom-designed furnishings and large marble bathrooms. Options include the 240-square-foot Boutique Studio Queen with floor-to-ceiling windows, the 400-square-foot Dividend Junior Corner Suite with a velvet pull-out sofa, and the 500-square-foot Blue Chip Suite with a private stone garden patio. All rooms have heated floors, 50-inch smart TVs, Illy coffee makers, and L'Occitane en Provence toiletries. Some suites include Dyson hair dryers, B&O headphones, and Nespresso machines.

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.”

Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Exchange Hotel Vancouver is highly rated for its spacious and clean rooms, with modern decor and well-appointed bathrooms. Its central location puts guests within walking distance of major attractions like Gastown and Canada Place, and a short trip from Stanley Park and Granville Island. The breakfast includes a voucher allowing you to order a dish from an a la carte menu, which is generally appreciated, although some guests felt that only one choice was somewhat limiting considering the price. Guests also enjoy convenient amenities such as the fitness room with modern equipment and the Lindt store located right in the lobby.
