Considering the fact that at the moment, there is no large scale hotel complex under construction in the community, the Prestige brand will most likely be attached one of the existing hotel properties in Prince Rupert.

They currently are the operators of the Hudson Bay Lodge in Smithers, which appears to have been their jumping off point in the North, with Prince George scheduled to join Prince Rupert as part of the roster, with the Prince George location set to open sometime this summer.

Prestige Hotels and Resorts has a heavy presence in the Okanagan and Kootenay region of the province to this point, operating nine hotels in the interior, with one additional location at Sooke on Vancouver Island.
