The new structure will span more than 160,000 square feet and include five connected buildings inspired by the concept of a Native American fish weir. “For the past several years, we’ve been running at consistently high occupancy in our hotel and while meetings and events business has taken a big hit in the past eight months, we are confident things will bounce back in the coming months and years, returning us to the kind of demand we were seeing in 2019 and early 2020.”
“While 2020 has been a difficult year for the hospitality industry, we continue to weather the storm and look toward to the future,” Nick Pierre, Northern Quest general manager, said in a statement. A skywalk will connect the current tower’s northwest side to the new addition. In an announcement Monday, the Kalispel Tribe said the new structure will be built west of Northern Quest’s existing hotel tower. The Kalispel Tribe plans to break ground next year on an expansion project at Northern Quest Resort & Casino that includes a new hotel wing with nearly 200 rooms.
