"I loved the setting in Gastown and the building’s history — the hotel occupies the former Vancouver Stock Exchange and you enter through revolving doors off Howe Street into a stunning curved heritage ceiling painted with 48 separate artworks. Opened in 2018, the 201-room hotel mixes preserved opulence (even the two elevators feel gilded) with modern comforts like triple-paned windows, heated bathroom floors, and an in-room tablet to control the TV or order room service; there’s also an on-site Mediterranean wine bar, Hydra." - Bianca Bujan
"Downtown Vancouver’s financial district is no place for funky little boutique hotels — EXchange Hotel Vancouver is pure international urban luxury, set in a skyscraper built atop the 1929 shell of the Vancouver Stock Exchange building. The interiors are contemporary-luxe, with a pronounced Art Deco accent, and they’re glamorous but not excessively racy; the rooms and suites seem equally well suited to a romantic city weekend or a style-conscious work trip. (Business travelers might skip the Martini Rooms, with their in-room self-serve bars, unless they’re submitting their expenses to Sterling Cooper.) The hotel’s restaurant, Hydra, named for the Greek island, serves Mediterranean fare made from local products as well as Greek and Cypriot imports." - Kevin Chau

"Opened in 2018, the EXchange is one of the newest additions to the city’s hospitality scene. Owned by the British Columbia–based Sayani family, the 201-room hotel occupies eleven floors of a 30-story building. Even the smallest rooms (the Boutique Studio is 240 square feet) are so well-designed that they don't feel cramped. Triple-paned windows let in lots of light, and heated bathroom floors are a welcome touch. Use the in-room tablet to control the TV or order room service from the onsite restaurants (when they open)." - Guy Saddy
