Coeur d'Alene makes room for new resort tower

COEUR d’ALENE — Hagadone Hospitality Co. is one step closer to building a tower of guest rooms adjoining The Coeur d’Alene Resort.
At a public hearing Tuesday night, the Coeur d’Alene City Council voted to vacate a portion of Front Avenue right-of-way between Second and Third Streets, and a portion of the Second Street right-of-way south of Sherman Avenue. The council decision sets the stage for Hagadone Hospitality to begin designing a new tower with an additional 200 rooms, which John Barlow, a consultant for the company, said is essential to attract large conferences.
“They love Coeur d’Alene. They want to come to Coeur d’Alene,” Barlow told the council. “But we’re not large enough.”
