Plans for a new King’s Hotel in Lunenburg

Interesting development being proposed for Lunenburg, bringing back the Kings Hotel to the town, of which the original was demolished in the 1950’s. What’s old is new again.

The proposal also includes upgrades to the Lunenburg Arms Hotel, adding suites, and rebranding as the King’s Suites. Notably not included are any plans for a parking structure.

The town is now going through the process of approval, the next step of which requires them to publicly advertise a public feedback session.
