History

In 1908, local hotelier D.S. Dundas established the Royal Hotel. Its success in the following years helped increase Fraser Valley’s economic growth. Vancouverite Cyrus W. McGillvray bought the hotel and later sold it to the Berry family. In 1950, Buck Berry occupied the old Royal Bank building next door and added it to the Royal Hotel, which was then turned into a new hotel tavern.

Royal Hotel is located in downtown Chilliwack, 30 minutes from the Sumas, WA border crossing, 1.5 hours from Vancouver International Airport and 3 hours from Sea-Tac International. Abbotsford International Airport is approximately 32 minutes away from the venue.
