The porte-cochere entry with decorative Kebony siding sets up the guest experience immediately upon arrival to the hotel, and its décor and design was a focus. The main floor houses the lobby, conference spaces, administrative offices, reception, and a coffee and gift shop. The hotel contains four corner suites, eight executive suites, and a mixture of king and double queen rooms. Kebony is ideal it can both be a facade but also incorporate the design and vision the tribe had.” We didn’t want a material that didn’t speak to the identity of the Tribe. “Kebony gave us the flexibility to do that. “By using wood, the entry façade encapsulates the identity of what the tribe is,” RFM project designer Sean Moyano said.

One of the most striking features of the hotel is the main level’s façade and entrance, which is clad in Kebony modified wood, carved in tribal designs.

Both the architecture and interiors were carefully designed to immerse guests in the Pacific Northwest experience, and a collection of more than 750 art pieces help tell the story of the tribe and the region. Each floor of the hotel reflects the different “Layers of Life” found near this scenic location – sea, shore, land, and sky. Designed in keeping with a boutique hotel, uniquely crafted themes of Cedar Forest, Salish Sea and Canoe Journey inspire the palettes, colors, textures, and tones in each room.
