About Kwa'lilas Hotel

The newly opened Kwa’lilas Hotel is a premier First Nations owned four-star destination hotel, offering high-end amenities and services for North Island visitors and residents. “Kwa’lilas” is a traditional word meaning ‘a place to sleep’. The hotel was named by the Gwa’sala ‘Nakwaxda’xw elders in hopes that travelers and guests would find peaceful rest in the hotel after a day of exploration in the north island. The hotel features 85 guest rooms plus meeting space to accommodate up to 150 people. Ha’me’ (food) Restaurant and Na’xid’ (drink) pub feature Aboriginal inspired west coast cuisine. A curated selection of authentic local Aboriginal art can be found throughout the hotel celebrating local traditions, stories and culture. Hotel guests can also choose to participate in a selection of eco-adventure tours and cultural experiences guided by community members and local experts.
