Averill Hospitality, a family-owned company based in Whitefish, is transforming The Pine Lodge into the Whitefish Riverfront Hotel. The first phase of renovations is already underway, with completion expected by June 2024. The timing is intended to align with the busy summer travel season.
Prime Location for Visitors
The Whitefish Riverfront Hotel is located along the Whitefish River, near downtown. Its location provides access to attractions, including Glacier National Park, Whitefish Lake, and Whitefish Mountain Resort. The hotel aims to blend modern comfort with Montana's mountain lifestyle. It intends to maintain its connection to the natural beauty, culture, and spirit of the area.
A Commitment to Community
According to Brian Averill, President of Averill Hospitality, the hotel will maintain its community feel while incorporating renovations. "Our guests will experience upgraded amenities that enhance the community spirit they've come to love," he said. Phase one began in March and is on track for completion in mid-June, with phase two scheduled to begin this fall, to elevate the guest experience.
Design Collaboration
Averill Hospitality is working with OZ Architecture out of Colorado to manage this transformation. OZ Architecture is known for projects like the Telluride Four Seasons and Grand Hyatt Deer Valley.
