Boutique aparthotel Keefer House to open in Vancouver this summer

Kalido Hospitality Group has announced the July 2025 opening of Keefer House, a design-forward boutique aparthotel in Vancouver’s historic Chinatown.

Positioned at the crossroads of some of the city’s most dynamic neighbourhoods — Chinatown, the Arena District, and Gastown — Keefer House will offer a blend of residential comfort, smart technology and boutique hotel polish.

Each apartment features a full kitchen and in-suite laundry, and is furnished with 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.

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 also partners with several local Vancouver brands, including TALLU, Tealeaves, Pallet Coffee and Fable.

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 welcome package from Keefer Bar, which is located just next door.

“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.
