The old Gold River Chalet has been completely renovated, and will re-open next month after a totem pole-raising ceremony.
The Mowachaht-Muchalaht First Nation purchased the hotel last year, and it’s been under renovations since then. It will re-open as part of an international hotel chain, Baymont by Wyndham. More kitchen units have been added and the hotel is now pet-friendly.
A meeting room, restaurant, gym, and hot tub are also being added.
Next Wednesday the nation will hold a pole-raising ceremony. Local politicians and dignitaries have been invited, and visitors will be able to take escorted tours.
The pole-raising is planned for 10 am on May 22. The hotel will open to the public sometime in June and will be the first of its kind in Gold River.
