Hotels & Motels
for Sale in Fraser Valley
From highway motels to resort properties, I bring decades of commercial real estate experience to hospitality transactions across British Columbia.
Types of Hospitality Properties
The Fraser Valley and broader BC market offer diverse hospitality investment opportunities
Highway & Roadside Motels
Budget-friendly accommodations along major corridors like Highway 1 and Highway 7. Steady demand from travellers and seasonal workers. Often include on-site manager suites and parking for commercial vehicles.
Boutique Hotels
Small to mid-size hotels in town centres and tourism hubs. Growing demand for unique, personalized guest experiences. Higher revenue per room but require more operational attention.
Resort & Tourism Properties
Properties near destinations like Harrison Hot Springs, Cultus Lake, and the Okanagan. Seasonal peaks provide strong revenue, and many include ancillary income from restaurants, spas, and event spaces.
Key Considerations When Buying Hospitality Property
Purchasing a hotel or motel is fundamentally different from buying other commercial real estate. You are buying both a property and a business. Every aspect requires specialized due diligence.
Revenue & Occupancy Analysis
Reviewing at least three years of financial statements, occupancy rates by season, average daily rate (ADR), and revenue per available room (RevPAR) to assess true profitability.
Licensing & Permits
BC hospitality properties require specific business licences, health authority permits, liquor licences if applicable, and Tourism BC compliance. I help you understand what transfers with the sale.
Zoning & Land Use
Ensuring the property is properly zoned for hospitality use, understanding any restrictions on expansion, and evaluating potential for rezoning or additional development.
Commercial Financing
Hospitality financing is different from standard commercial mortgages. Lenders evaluate the business income, not just the real estate. I connect you with lenders experienced in hotel and motel transactions.

Harrison Hot Springs & Fraser Valley Tourism
The Harrison Hot Springs area remains one of BC's most popular tourism destinations, driving consistent demand for hospitality accommodations. From the famous hot springs resort to lakeside retreats, this corridor presents compelling investment opportunities.
Beyond Harrison, the Fraser Valley benefits from growing tourism across Chilliwack, Abbotsford (wine country and agriculture tourism), and the outdoor recreation corridor along the Fraser River. Each of these areas generates demand for quality accommodations year-round.

Hotels & Motels for Sale Across BC
General information, not financial or legal advice — verify figures and financing with qualified professionals.
Are there hotels and motels for sale in Surrey?
Surrey's hospitality stock runs along Highway 99, King George Boulevard, and the Fraser Highway corridor — mostly limited-service hotels and owner-operated motels serving highway, event, and business travel. Availability changes frequently and many sales are handled confidentially; contact Tejinder Sohal for current opportunities.
What about motels for sale in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland?
Vancouver-proper motels are increasingly rare as sites redevelop, which makes remaining roadside properties on Kingsway, Marine Drive, and the Burnaby and Richmond corridors attractive both as operating businesses and as land. Valuation here weighs the real estate as heavily as the business.
How do BC hotel and motel sales work outside the Lower Mainland?
Highway-corridor motels in the Fraser Valley, Interior, and northern BC typically trade on revenue multiples and cap rates, with the owner's suite, seasonality, and franchise agreements shaping value. Tejinder has represented hospitality and roadside businesses from the Fraser Valley to Williams Lake.
What financing is available for a BC motel purchase?
Lenders commonly finance hospitality at lower loan-to-value ratios than residential, and they scrutinize historical revenue, occupancy, and management. Business and real estate components are often financed separately — speak with a commercial lender early, and confirm all figures with your accountant.
