The EXchange is a Four Diamond room that tells you very little about getting to a ship. It's in the former Vancouver Stock Exchange on Howe Street, AAA Four Diamond since 2022, with Hydra Estiatorio, Bar Hydra and Hydra Café downstairs.
What the hotel's pages don't cover: the distance to the terminal, parking, breakfast terms and check-in times. Our road estimate to Canada Place is about 0.9 miles — a 4-minute cab with no traffic.
Every registered guest must be 21 to confirm a reservation, per the hotel, stricter than the 19 at the Marriotts.
Book dinner at Hydra, call about everything else, and cab to Canada Place.
Book it if
- A Four Diamond room downtown
- Anyone who wants dinner downstairs
Look elsewhere if
- You're under 21.
- You want the details in writing before you book.

The EXchange is on Howe Street in the former Vancouver Stock Exchange, "adjacent to the waterfront convention center neighbourhood", in its words. It gives no distance to the terminal.
