The Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians’ expansion to Red Hawk Casino, a 120,000-square-foot hotel, is set to open May 1.

Walking into what’s now officially been dubbed Red Hawk Resort + Casino, hotel visitors see nods to tribe culture through artwork and architecture.

Light fixtures that replicate woven baskets hang over the lobby, a river of marble flows across the floor and tribal artwork can be seen as one walks through the doors of the hotel. Across the lobby windows showcase sweeping views of El Dorado County to the north, a view that can also be seen from hotel rooms.

The five-story hotel, developed and designed by Williams and Paddon Architects and Planners, has 156 rooms available, including 25 suites.
