Kalido Hospitality Group has announced the July 2025 of Keefer House, a design-forward boutique aparthotel in Vancouver’s historic Chinatown. Perfectly positioned at the crossroads of the city’s most
dynamic neighbourhoods—Chinatown, the Arena District, and Gastown—Keefer House offers a seamless blend of residential comfort, smart technology, and boutique hotel polish, says the company in a news release.
“Keefer House is more than a place to stay—it’s a launchpad to explore one of Vancouver’s most electric grids,” said Javier Cepeda, Managing Partner at Kalido Hospitality Group. “Every element, from the design to the tech to our local partners, is curated to reflect the pace, personality, and possibility of the neighbourhood.”
Keefer House is Kalido’s second Vancouver aparthotel project, following the success of Smithe House in Yaletown. Both properties embody Kalido’s mission to deliver next-gen
hospitality experiences that strike a balance between design, technology, and personalized service, it said.
“From stylish business travel to extended creative residencies, Keefer House invites guests to settle in with the comfort of a home and the curation of a hotel. Each apartment features a full kitchen, in-suite laundry and is thoughtfully furnished, featuring natural wood tones, cool greys, soft neutrals and pops of mustard yellow — all accented by a custom collection of curated pieces by Canadian art company, Opposite Wall,” said Kalido.
“Many apartments feature private balconies with neighbourhood views, while all guests
enjoy access to an onsite gym, a rooftop communal area and curated local amenities.
Keefer House proudly partners with beloved Vancouver brands including TALLU,
Tealeaves, Pallet Coffee, and Fable to offer a signature hyper-local stay experience.
“Among the most coveted accommodations are the Terrace Apartment and Rooftop
Apartment—standouts for their generous outdoor spaces and premium in-suite
offerings. Guests staying in these flagship units will enjoy added touches such as
vintage-style record players and an exclusive Keefer Bar welcome package ( coming
soon ), setting the tone for a stay that’s both elevated and rooted in the local scene.
(Note: we’re leaning into this vision—just imagine your first sunset on the rooftop, vinyl
playing, cocktail in hand.)”
Keefer Bar is next door, to neighbourhood icons like Bao Bei, Juke Fried Chicken, and the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden just moments away.
