A new Coast Hotel is scheduled to open in 2009 at 1180 West Hastings Street, Vancouver.
Coast Hotels and Resorts parent Okabe North America Inc. is set to begin construction on the $60 million Coast Coal Harbour Hotel in late May.
The four-star, 20-storey, 220-room hotel, will also feature an 8,000-square-foot ballroom and conference facility, private board rooms, a full-service business centre, gym and podium roof deck.
It will be the first hotel Okabe has built since it opened the Coast Victoria Harbourside Hotel and Marina in 1991.
The hotel's construction, which is expected to take 30 months, will be spearheaded by Scott Construction Group. Downs/Archambault & Partners will be the project's architect; Inside Design Studio will be its interior designer.
