New Hilton Hotel Set to Enhance Surrey’s Growth
Surrey City Centre is set to welcome the Homewood Suites by Hilton, which will occupy the top nine floors of the City Centre 4 tower at 9686 137 St. This 25-storey building is conveniently situated near Surrey Memorial Hospital and is a short walk from the King George SkyTrain Station. Scheduled to open on March 30, 2026, the hotel’s development aligns with an effort to establish Surrey as a key area for healthcare, education, and innovation.
Kirk Fisher, CEO of Lark Group, emphasized the significance of the hotel in supporting Surrey’s burgeoning economy, stating, “The opening reflects the continued growth and momentum of Surrey.” The hotel will be operated by the Aquilini Group, known for its ownership of the Vancouver Canucks and expertise in managing accommodations.
Homewood Suites will feature 189 suites designed for both traditional short-term and extended stays, offering studio and one-bedroom options complete with full kitchens and workspaces. Guests can enjoy a 6,000 sq. ft. rooftop area equipped with barbecue stations, fire pits, and landscaped seating. Additional amenities include complimentary breakfast, Wi-Fi, a fitness center, and pet-friendly policies.
Walther Lauffer, vice president of hospitality for Aquilini Properties, noted that expanding their hospitality portfolio in Surrey is a thrilling opportunity. “Homewood Suites offers travelers spacious, comfortable accommodations,” he remarked, highlighting the hotel’s strategic access to local businesses and attractions.
The City Centre 4 tower already houses Stong’s Market grocery store and will feature a new Indian restaurant, Maharaja, and various educational facilities like Western Community College. Universities are also expanding in the vicinity, intensifying the demand for local accommodation.
Plans to amend City Centre 4’s layout to include a hotel were submitted during construction and received municipal approval. Originally, the building was intended for office space; however, a shift toward hotel use has arisen due to a decrease in office demand.
Nearby, the City Centre 5 tower is also transforming, slated to provide 500 student housing beds in partnership with Western Community College, with completion expected by 2028. Furthermore, the RBI Group is planning a 44-storey tower with a hotel and rental homes in the vicinity, adding to the area’s development momentum.
