the newly opened Block House by
@kalidohousehotels is Gastown’s first and only hotel and i did a little staycation in one of my favourite Vancouver neighbourhoods where i love to bop, shop & dine!
Block House by Kalido House Hotels is part of a growing collection of aparthotels across three Vancouver neighbourhoods designed for stays that feel more like living than visiting. as Smithe House leans into Yaletown and Keefer House to Chinatown, Block House specifically leans into Gastown’s history: heritage bones, exposed brick, loft-style apartments in a restored building from 1893.
everything in Gastown is pretty dope around you but this is my IDEAL Block House staycation:

@neighbour51powell for their books and objects selection, then hit up
@shopneighbour ’s new men’s space on west cordova and
@neighbourwoman right beside
