Visitors interested in learning more about Canada’s rich First Nations culture will soon have the opportunity to stay at an entirely aboriginal-themed hotel in downtown Vancouver. This May, Skwachàys Lodge will open an 18-room boutique arts hotel featuring distinctly cultural accommodations. Designed by six aboriginal artists and Vancouver-based interior design firms, each room boasts a unique theme featuring various animal spirits and original indigenous artwork like carvings, blankets and paintings. The property at 31 W. Pender also features a sweat lodge, an artist’s workshop, smudge room, and guest lounge. Skwachays.com
