Chilliwack welcomes a new 150-room dual-brand Marriott hotel, boosting tourism and business with modern amenities and long-stay suites.
Major Addition to Chilliwack’s Hospitality Sector
A new 150-room dual-brand Marriott hotel officially opened its doors in Chilliwack, B.C., on Thursday, June 12. Located at 43955 Industrial Way near the Lickman Road interchange, the property is the latest hospitality development in the fast-growing Fraser Valley region.
Strategic Location and Construction Timeline
The hotel sits on a 4.5-acre site at Fraser Gateway Centre, previously home to the Best Western. Construction began in the fall of 2023 and was completed in under a year by Meridian Development. Its location near key highways makes it an ideal stop for both tourists and business travellers.
Blending Two Marriott Brands Under One Roof
The six-storey property uniquely combines 90 rooms under the Fairfield Inn brand and 60 suites under the TownePlace Suites brand. This dual-brand model allows the hotel to cater to both short-term guests and those requiring extended stays, offering flexibility in accommodation options.
Designed for Comfort and Convenience
Guests can enjoy a range of modern amenities. The Fairfield Inn offers a complimentary hot breakfast, 24/7 fitness centre, outdoor pool and hot tub, and high-speed Wi-Fi. The TownePlace Suites brand targets long-stay travellers, featuring full kitchens, spacious living areas, and ergonomic workspaces.
Supporting Local Growth and Tourism
According to Jeff Krivoshen, COO of P.R. Hotels Group, the launch reflects rising demand in the region. “This is a significant and exciting day for the Chilliwack community and the entire Fraser Valley,” he stated. The hotel is expected to support the city’s growing tourism, events, and business travel sectors.
Long-Term Vision for the Fraser Valley
The project is part of a broader initiative to expand Chilliwack’s infrastructure and hospitality offerings. “We’re proud to bring Marriott’s world-class hospitality to the Fraser Valley,” Krivoshen added, emphasizing the hotel’s role in fostering regional economic development.
