City council unanimously approved Tuesday another new hotel planned for Eckhardt Ave. West in Penticton.
The 74-room hotel — the second to be approved this summer — will go on four lots that most recently housed a Petro Canada gas station.
The only speaker at Tuesday’s public hearing was the hotel’s architect, Joe Minton, who said construction time on the project would be 12-18 months from start to finish.
The Agur family is behind the plan, and already own and operate the adjacent Ramada, but the new hotel would operate as its own entity.
“It’s great to see the investment in new hotels coming to Penticton and particularly around the events centre as an entertainment hub,” said Mayor Andrew Jakubeit.
The Ministry of Transportation still need to approve the project, particularly its vehicle entrance onto Highway 97.
