A new 103-room, six-storey hotel is close to coming to Goldstream Avenue after the May 6 Langford City Council meeting.

At the meeting, the hotel application went through its first, second, and third readings, but has not been adopted yet.

After it is adopted, the hotel and rezoning will need to go through the development permit process.

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 exciting and welcoming to have an additional hotel, especially in our downtown core,B次元官网网址� said Langford Coun Lilian Szpak at the City Council meeting.

The new Marriott hotel features coffee shops, rooms with full kitchens, a business centre, will bring an estimated 34,000 visitors annually to Langford and create 30-40 new jobs.

On the main floor, the hotel will offer a combination of food services, including a complimentary breakfast, and will be able to host guests for short or extended stays.

The development will occur at 824, 832, and 838 Goldstream Ave.

Before approval, Strogintharm Consulting invited residents to an open house to view the property on Feb. 1.

Holden Chu and Jan Dong are the existing property owners of the Goldstream Avenue properties. The Chu family opened LangfordB次元官网网址檚 first Asian restaurant in 1968 at 728 Goldstream Ave. Later, it relocated to 832 Goldstream Ave.

B次元官网网址淚t fits in with our economic development plan, which we are working on here. ItB次元官网网址檚 great timing,B次元官网网址� said Coun. Mary Wagner.

More hotel rooms were needed in Langford due to the cityB次元官网网址檚 rapid population growth and the continual development of Royal Roads University, Wagner said.

B次元官网网址淚 just think this location is really great,B次元官网网址� Wagner said.

The developers, Metropolitan Hospitality Management, were approached for comment and failed to respond by deadline.
