Magical Boutique Hotel
Two evenings ago I mentioned that we had finished the Hazelnut Inn sign while the while the picture I posted showed the progress on the entire front of the property. Since then a number of people have asked me to show a closer picture of the sign. It turned out to be a real head turner and we are ve
According to Google , one of the most common questions people ask about the Hazelnut Inn is “are we open?” And the answer is a resounding yes! We opened our first suite this year and we have opened our second suite for bookings starting in June of 2025. Suite Number 1: The North Star The North
Even before we had our zoning, development, and building permits in hand, we were puttering away in the Imagination Corporation’s shop, making the signs for the Hazelnut Inn . And we began working on the inn’s three garden gates not long after we started construction. We knew that each of the
At the Imagination Corporation, we define a sign as anything that promotes a business, service or entity. This allows plenty of room for creativity. The Hazelnut Inn takes full advantage of thi s sign definition. The building itself is unlike anything else around. It stops traffic and begs for a sel

It isn’t often a bathroom is truly themed to match the other rooms in a hotel but the three bathrooms of Hazelnut Inn will be beautiful exceptions. We will still make it functional and easy to care for by using lots of colourful ceramic tile and smooth plaster on the balance of the surfaces. Peter
My sister, Becké and I are spending this lovely fall day at the Fraser Valley Wedding Festival . Perhaps we will see you there!
We’ve started painting the final touches inside the Under Hill Suite . If you look carefully you can see the beginnings of the delicate floral pattern that will grace the sitting room’s walls. Only 99 days left until our open house!
We continue to make good progress, painting inside the Under Hill Suite . By the end of the month we will be ready to bring in our electricians to start installing the suite’s fixtures — including a number of Tiffany Glass chandeliers. I can hardly wait!
We are making great strides inside the North Star Suite . Julianne finished up the grouting in the tower today which just leaves the ensuite shower to go. We’ll be moving furniture in next week!
The North Star Suite’s gardens are nearly all planted and everyone is helping with the final push! Visit us on Saturday, June 1st from noon until 3:00pm and see the fruits of our labour for yourself.
The North Star has a television, but there is so much to see inside the suite you’ll be forgiven if you miss it
Thank you to Claire Fenton and the Daily Hive Vancouver for a lovely article.
We continue to make great progress inside the Under Hill Suite ! Just a few more weeks and we will be finished painting.
Yesterday we installed the North Star Suite’s king size bed frame. Next up we’ll tile the floor and then it’s curtains for the bedroom!
The painting in the staircase and upper hallway are finally finished enough to allow us to take down the scaffold which blocked them. The painting crew will pick up speed as they get their feet back on the ground. One giant scaffold remains for just a little longer to allow us to install the first o
The North Star Suite is nearly finished. Today we cleaned it out in preparation for the last of the tile work. It won’t be long until these floors are ready to dance on!
Just a little tidying to finish up tonight and we are ready for our Grand Opening tomorrow. Building the Hazelnut Inn has been an amazing journey and we are so excited to finally be able to share our dream with you. We hope you’ll join us for a tour of the North Star Suite. We’ll be opening our
We continue to make good progress inside the North Star Suite . Just a little bit of tile to go and we will be ready to start moving furniture in!
