Built in 1936, the building that houses the Douglas Suites has long been part of Powell River’s commercial landscape. Its enduring presence reflects the character of a community shaped by industry, coastal trade, and generations of local enterprise. Today, the suites offer a comfortable place to stay within a building that carries nearly a century of local history. While the space has been thoughtfully adapted for modern guests, its age and setting remain part of its charm - a modest connection to the evolving story of Powell River’s waterfront and commercial district within the qathet region.
