Hilton Québec City passes into the hands of four Indigenous communities – CTV News
January 16, 2025
Four Indigenous nations have joined forces in a new entity to acquire a majority stake in the Hilton Québec City hotel.
The four groups involved in the project are the Naskapi Nation of Kawawachikamach, the Mi’gmaq of Gespe’gewa’gi, the Huron-Wendat Nation and the Cree Nation.
In a joint press release issued on Thursday, the nations point out that this agreement “marks a significant step in strengthening the economic participation of First Nations in several sectors in Quebec, including the hotel industry.”
They point out that acquiring all or most of the shares in a hotel makes it possible to “share and promote the rich culture and traditions of the First Nations with visitors.”
The Hilton Québec, which opened in 1974, has 569 rooms. It underwent a major facelift in 2020, during renovations worth $70 million.
