Overview

Coeur d’Alene Tribe’s respect for their land and people is reflected in the transformational sustainable design that’s taking them into the 21st century, strengthened as a people, corporation and stewards of the environment. This new addition to the tribe’s casino resort includes a hotel which will be a four-star destination resort that honors the tribe’s ancestral heritage and welcomes everyone with beauty, hospitality and an expanded array of activities. The new design:

• Redefines the resort’s image and aesthetic through multiple venues for dining, wellness and entertainment, all with an honest use of materials inspired by the surrounding Palouse prairie and forested wetlands of Northern Idaho.
• Encourages visitors to interact with the unique landscape of the site as they experience a new entry approach to this destination resort, an interpretive walk showcasing significant native plantings, an outdoor fireplace and ice skating rink, and outdoor dining.
• Targets LEED Silver® certification to reflect the tribe’s commitment to reducing the impact of buildings on the natural environment and improving occupants’ health and well-being.
