The Quality Inn Northern Grand Hotel in Fort St. John has been awarded the APEX Award for best renovation and redesign from Choice Hotels International.
The national award recognizes hotel renovations and redesigns within the Choice Hotels International hotel chain.
The Fort St. John hotel was chosen for the award over 248 others.
A Vancouver-based design firm, McCutcheon Design, did the renovations.
"When we were planning the redesign, we approached the project from our guests' perspective to create a stylish and functional boutique-style hotel in Fort St. John," said Philippe Gadbois, senior vice-president, Atlific Hotels, which owns the hotel.
Atlific Hotels also manages a number of other hotels in B.C., including the Econolodge in Fort St. John.
