In collaboration with City of Saskatoon, new Alt Hotel to open in evolving River Landing area.
MONTREAL – Group Germain Hotels is adding a new Alt Hotel to the dynamic River Landing area of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in 2018. The stylish property will be a key feature of the city’s extensive River Landing development project, a new extension currently under construction in the south downtown business district.
“We are pleased to be working closely with Greystone Managed Investments Inc., Victory Majors, Triovest and the City of Saskatoon on the opening of our newest Alt Hotel,” states Jean-Yves Germain, co-president of Group Germain Hotels. “This new location, in the vibrant River Landing area of the city, represents our third Alt Hotel property in the western provinces. It’s an ideal location and an exciting marker of the steady progress towards our goal of offering 20 properties to visitors across the country by 2020.” The first Alt Hotel in western Canada opened in Winnipeg, Manitoba in 2015. Alt Hotel Calgary, Alberta, is scheduled to open in 2017.
Saskatoon: Vibrant city, sophisticated culture
One of Canada’s fastest growing communities, this vital city of more than a quarter million residents is a magnet for a diverse range of industry, businesses and talents. Saskatoon is home to one of Canada’s most beautiful university campuses, the University of Saskatchewan, which also serves as a hub for leading-edge technology. Major attractions like the Remai Modern Art Gallery, as well as a long list of popular annual music and arts festivals, continuously delight culture-minded residents and visitors.
“River Landing was once a vision and is now a reality,” says Mayor Donald Atchison. “More than 360,000 people visit River Landing every year and Group Germain Hotels’ proposed investment further underscores Saskatoon’s position as a major draw for business and leisure travelers.”
