Kwa’lilas Hotel

GilaKas’la! Welcome to Kwa’lilas Hotel. Kwa’lilas is a kwak’wala word used by Gwa’sala-‘Nakwaxda’xw people meaning a place to sleep. A group of Elders chose this word in hopes that travellers and guests would find a peaceful rest after a day of exploration on the Northern Vancouver Island.

Immerse yourself in all the beauty Vancouver Island North has to offer, while staying in North Island’s only premier First Nations Hotel.

Located on North Vancouver Island, Kwa'lilas Hotel is less than 10 minutes' walk from the waterfront and Port Hardy city centre. It offers on-site dining and provides free WiFi in every room.

Coffee-making facilities and cable TV are provided in the traditionally decorated rooms at the Kwa'lilas Hotel. A seating area is also provided. Ocean and mountain view rooms are available.

A curated selection of authentic local Aboriginal art can be found throughout the hotel celebrating local traditions, stories, and culture. Eco-adventure tours and cultural experiences guided by community members and local experts are offered.
