Hotel Review: EXchange Hotel Vancouver

Stylish, elegant, and luxury — are the perfect three words to describe the EXchange Hotel in Vancouver. BC. Situated in the heart of downtown — this hotel is a must gem to consider when visiting Vancouver.

Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of staying at EXchange Hotel Vancouver. Given it was my very first visit to Vancouver, and I did not know much about the city, I’d say EXchange Hotel Vancouver was a great choice — it was walking distance to many things — convenience stores, restaurants, shopping.

MY EXPERIENCE

The staff here at EXchange were top-notch and memorable. As soon as you arrive, there is always someone to greet you and help you with your luggage/cab/etc. which I loved that little touch! When I arrived, a bellhop immediately helped me and directed me to the front desk area, located on the 2nd floor – which is not obvious if he had not shown me. The check-in was quick and easy and before I knew it, I was already headed to my room.

Room:

We stayed in the Superior Queen room — very spacious and chic. The room included a sofa-pull out, a mini-fridge, and a beautiful city view!

Located on the first floor and to the right of the entrance is one of my most favorite chocolate brands. If you haven’t heard or try it, I recommend you go! This location also had drinks to purchase as well.
