Skwachàys Lodge

VANCOUVER, CANADA

This hotel is a complete cultural experience rather than merely a place to visit. With its remarkable native artwork and decor, this distinctive chic hotel stands out and gives visitors a significant and meaningful opportunity to interact with First Nations culture. Collaboratively created by indigenous artists and local interior designers, each room is a work of art that features genuine, handcrafted artwork that narrates compelling stories.

The lodge is run as a charitable organization by the Vancouver Native Housing Society, and its proceeds go toward funding an artist fellowship program for Indigenous people. This program promotes creativity and cultural preservation by giving artists access to cheap studio space and accommodation. In addition to having a pleasant vacation, visitors to Skwachàys directly support the uplift of indigenous populations.

The lodge's smudge room and rooftop sweat lodge provide special chances for visitors to partake in age-old healing techniques, encouraging rest and spiritual rejuvenation. Through these encounters, visitors can strengthen their ties to their indigenous heritage and learn more about the cultural significance of these customs.

Together with priceless recollections of their visit, guests depart from Skwachàys feeling as though they have made a meaningful contribution to a greater good. Travelers who value ethical behavior and personal growth will find Skwachàys Lodge to be a perfect vacation as it genuinely is a setting where culture, comfort, and community come together.
