The Walper Hotel (formerly Walper House and also known as the Walper Terrace Hotel)[1][2] is a hotel in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. The current hotel building was constructed in 1893 for $75,000 after a previous establishment, known as John Roat's Commercial Hotel, burned down in 1892.[1][3] On 14 March 1983, it received heritage designation by the City of Kitchener under Part IV (Municipal Heritage Designation) of the Ontario Heritage Act.[2]
History
[edit | edit source]In September 2013, the hotel was bought by the Zehr Group, the Perimeter Development Corporation, David Struke and CK Atlantis Ltd. for $4.6 million.[4] The Hotel was renovated in 2016 and reopened in May and June for weddings and in July for guests.[5] The restoration project involved several architectural firms: Bogdan Newman Caranci for the building base, Dubbeldam Architecture + Design and Jill Greaves Design for suites and guest floors, and Dialogue 38 for lobby and public spaces on the second floor.[6][7] The renovation cost $3.5 million.[8]
