The Kwa'lilas Hotel is located in the traditional territories of the Kwakiutl people and is a demonstration of the commitment of the Gwa'sala 'Nakwaxda'xw Nations to share our history, culture and passion for our traditional territory in a meaningful and permanent way by showcasing and celebrating it in a beautiful, comfortable space that is representative of the community. It was important for the Gwa'sala 'Nakwaxda'xw Nations not only to work on a project that celebrates their history and culture, but also to understand that a project of this magnitude will create a legacy that will be part of the rejuvenation of the north island, attracting new visitors, businesses and services into the Port Hardy region.
