Red Hawk Casino in Placerville, California, held a groundbreaking for its new hotel June 29—the property’s first expansion since the casino opened in 2008.
The five-story, 120,000-square-foot, 150-room hotel will include a pool and fitness center. The building is being designed and developed by Williams & Paddon Architects & Planners. Construction is being done by Level 10 Construction and Avanti Builders Inc.
At the groundbreaking, Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians Chairwoman Regina Cuellar was joined by the Tribal Council and the Gaming Authority Board, along with gaming commissioners and Red Hawk’s executive team.
“Today marks a long-awaited day for the tribe as we break ground on our highly anticipated hotel,” said Cuellar. “This expansion brings additional economic benefits to the tribe and the community of El Dorado County. It has been the tribe’s mission to honor the past and celebrate the future, and the Red Hawk Casino hotel will be sure to do both.”
The hotel project is slated for completion by fall 2022 and will include modern designs with traditional tribal elements. The hotel will be joined to the casino and offer sweeping views of the surrounding Sierra Nevada foothills.
“Casino guests and community members have inquired for years about a hotel at Red Hawk Casino. We are beyond thrilled to finally bring this project to fruition and look forward to offering additional first-class amenities to our guests and community members,” said Red Hawk Casino CEO Bryan deLugo.
