The Comfort Inn in Aberdeen will be rebranded later this year after being bought by a new ownership group.
Family-owned Prestige Hotels, based in B.C., has bought the property at 1810 Rogers Place. The sale closed on May 31; it’s unclear what the sale price was, but the property had most recently been sold in February of 2019 for $8.33 million, according to BC Assessment.
The hotel is currently closed but it will reopen in late-September with a new name, the Prestige Kamloops Hotel. Before then, it will be renovating the building’s exterior, the common areas, guest rooms and the restaurant. A new food and beverage company will also be opening on the property this fall, according to the company.
Prestige says this will be its first hotel property it owns in Kamloops, and its seventeenth within B.C.
“The previous owners and their dedicated team have done a great job operating and maintaining the hotel,” Prestige president Terry Schneider says. “We believe that guests will be very impressed when the hotel reopens this fall, and it will be an exciting new addition to the hotel scene in Kamloops.
The company already owns hotels in 12 B.C. communities, including Salmon Arm, Kelowna, Vernon, Golden, Radium Hot Springs, Cranbrook, Nelson, Castlegar, Sooke, Prince George, Smithers and Prince Rupert.
