#HotelBluLove
At Hotel BLU, we want to give back to the community of Vancouver. Starting in 2018, we began the #hotelblulove campaign, partnering with local charities to foster community involvement. By creating art installations in our hotel lobby, and encouraging guests and visitors to post pictures of the display, we are able to help support charities working in our community. For each post made using the #hotelblulove tag, Hotel BLU provides charitable donations to our partners.
Giving Back
In 2018, Hotel BLU teamed up with the now iconic Big Love Ball to support the Battered Women’s Support Services. Guests and visitors to the Hotel were encouraged to write messages on the big blue ball in our lobby and post on their own social media accounts using the #hotelblulove hashtag. For each post, Hotel BLU donated $1 in support of ending violence.
In 2019, Hotel BLU partnered with Canuck Place Children’s Hospice to raise funds for children with life-threatening illnesses and their families. Our new installation, designed to inspire and uplift, debuted in the spring of 2019. We welcome you to share your images of our new lobby art feature by tagging #hotelblulove and #canuckplace. Gor each post, hotel blu will donate to canuck place and you will be entered to win a one night stay in one of our executive lofts.
