Long-awaited nine-storey hotel next to the Vancouver Island Conference Centre, majority owned by the Snuneymuxw First Nation, celebrated its grand opening this week
The Snuneymuxw First Nation, majority owner of the new Courtyard by Marriott in Nanaimo, celebrated this week the grand opening of the long-awaited nine-storey hotel next to the Vancouver Island Conference Centre.
The hotel at 100 Gordon St. is on a site where the now-extinct wool dogs that lived with First Nations were cared for by Snuneymuxw people, a joint news release said. “Our family of artists is honoured to share the profound connection between art, place and history with hotel guests.” At one point, a company was planning to erect a 21-storey, 240-room luxury hotel. But the plans stalled and the city eventually turned down a bid from the would-be developer for a time extension to build the hotel.
PEG chief investment officer Robert Schmidt said the company learned a lot while “persevering through the challenging market conditions.”
