Savoy Hotel officially kicks open doors
By Nelson Daily Staff
The project that began with the purchase in the summer of 2013, officially off operations again Thursday with the Grand Re-Opening of the newly renovated historic Savoy Hotel in Nelson.
Owner Jimmy Bundschuh, off Shambhala fame, Nelson Mayor Deb Kozak and friends cut the ribbon in front of a full house inside the hotel at 198 Baker Street Thursday evening.
The celebrations come following five years of renovations.
The historic building has been transformed into a unique, state-of-the-art venue complete with 12 boutique hotel rooms.
It’s a metamorphosis for the venerable building that previously housed several businesses including a restaurant, nightclub, pub and hostel before it burned more than a decade ago.
The venue includes a brewery, nightclub, music lounge-restaurant as well as a cafe.
