Comfort Inn & Suites penticton

Design Works is providing structural, mechanical, electrical, energy modelling, and fire protection services for the expansion of Comfort Inn & Suites Penticton, increasing the hotel from 36 to 88 rooms.

🏗️ 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲: 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗜𝗻𝗻 & 𝗦𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗣𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗻

At 950 Westminster Ave, Penticton, a well-known local landmark is getting a new chapter. What began as the Skiers Motel Hotel in the 1960s — a bold and modern form in its day — is now being transformed by our client, Gill Hotels, into the Comfort Inn and Suites Penticton.

Our team at Design Works Engineering is proud to provide structural, mechanical, electrical, energy modelling, and fire protection services for this ambitious expansion. In partnership with Gill Hotels, Bluegreen Architecture Inc., and Ikleen Construction, the project adds a 6-storey addition and expands the footprint from 36 to 88 rooms.

🔎 During our latest inspection, led by Emmanuel (Manny) Mendiola, P.L. Eng., L.L. (Eng.), Engineering Licensee, we observed:

• Rough-in wirings advancing across all floors

• In-suite panel installations underway

• Device and lighting rough-in boxes steadily progressing

Beyond the building itself, this addition fits into Penticton’s North Gateway Redevelopment and Investment Strategy — boosting local economic activity with high-quality rooms and amenities. As Bluegreen Architecture put it, the goal is nothing less than “rejuvenating a unique city landmark” and carrying it into the future.

This is more than an expansion — it’s about elevating comfort, hospitality, and a sense of place in the Okanagan.
