The Lion Inn & Suites holds the #1 accommodation rating in Chetwynd and operates 19 suites with kitchen facilities on nightly and monthly terms, serving a year-round industrial workforce across the Peace River corridor. The Red Lion Inn & Suites adds 8 additional kitchen/diner suites on monthly terms, a licensed restaurant now under a 5-year commercial lease, and a connected land parcel — all transferring in the same transaction.
The Lion Inn & Suites
The Lion Inn & Suites at 5132 46 Ave NW is the dominant accommodation asset in Chetwynd. Converted from a school building in 2016 and continuously improved since, the property operates 19 suites — each equipped with kitchen facilities, individual climate control, flat-screen television with satellite, and free WiFi. A dedicated owner or manager suite supports on-site management and reduces overhead. The property operates 24-hour front desk service, on-site laundry, a covered patio with BBQ, and free parking.
The Lion Inn & Suites holds a 4.0/5 rating on TripAdvisor (#1 of 4 properties in Chetwynd), an 8.4/10 Very Good rating on Expedia across 146 reviews, and an 8.0/10 on Hotels Combined.
The Red Lion Inn & Suites
The Red Lion Inn & Suites at 4812 Access Rd N is a separate C2-zoned property included in the same transaction. The building operates 8 kitchen/diner suites on a monthly rental basis, serving the same industrial and contractor workforce that anchors demand across the Chetwynd market. A two-bedroom manager's suite with living area, kitchen, office, and four-piece bathroom is located upstairs. A new metal panel roof was installed across the building in summer 2024. An unfinished basement of approximately 22 x 50 feet presents potential for additional amenity space. A connected land parcel at 4816 Access Rd N is included in the transaction.
The Red Lion Restaurant — Leased
The Red Lion Restaurant is now under a signed 5-year commercial lease with an operator in possession from May 2026. The restaurant is licensed for 88 patrons indoors and 20 on a covered patio. Walk-in cooler, commercial bar infrastructure, equipment, furniture, and a stone fireplace dining room are all on-site and included in the sale. An incoming buyer acquires a tenanted restaurant operation generating income from the first day of ownership — not a vacant shell requiring a tenant search.
Chetwynd and the Peace River Corridor
Chetwynd sits at the intersection of Highway 97, the CN rail main line, major pipeline infrastructure, and BC Hydro transmission corridors — the primary service hub for the Peace River resource region. The community supports year-round accommodation demand from oil and gas, forestry, mining, pipeline maintenance, aviation, and safety services operations.
The federally approved Enbridge Sunrise pipeline expansion — a $4-billion project with construction commencing July 2026 — runs directly through the Chetwynd corridor with a peak construction workforce of 2,500. For a buyer evaluating near-term demand, this project layers meaningfully onto an already-established industrial client base and a market where the nearest major hotel alternative is 1.5 hours away.
