Members of the Cowlitz Indian Tribe alongside ilani staff officially broke ground on a 14-story, nearly 300-room hotel on the tribe’s reservation Friday, heralding the next phase of expansion a day before the four-year anniversary of the grand opening of the casino.
The luxury hotel is expected to open in 2023, a release from ilani stated. Amenities are slated to include a full-service luxury spa, a pool, and a top-floor restaurant.
The hotel will be the sixth phase of expansion for ilani since it opened April 24, 2017. Beginning with a nearly 100,000-square-foot gaming floor, bars, restaurants, and retail space, the casino property added meeting and entertainment space, a gas station and a parking garage.
