Valhalla Inn

BC Motel with Restaurant for Sale — New Denver, Slocan Lake

The Valhalla Inn is a BC motel with restaurant for sale in New Denver, BC. It is a 28-room motel, licensed restaurant, and pub offered at $1,550,000 as a Share Sale. Situated at 509 Slocan Avenue at the junction of Highway 6 and Highway 31A, this property has anchored New Denver for over five decades. With motel rooms, a restaurant, and a pub under one roof, the business offers income diversification uncommon at this price point.

The Property — 28-Room BC Motel with Restaurant and Pub

The Valhalla Inn comprises a motel wing, a licensed restaurant and pub, and an on-site owner/manager suite. Specifically, the motel wing was built in the 1960s and offers 28 rental units. In particular, these range from standard rooms to two-bedroom suites with kitchenettes. Meanwhile, the pub — added in the early 1970s — includes a basement level. Furthermore, the restaurant seats 65 guests indoors and 24 more on a shaded patio.

Overall, the property is well-maintained and turnkey ready. In addition, recent improvements include new siding, roofing, room renovations, and carpet replacements. As a result, an incoming owner can step in from day one without major capital outlay.

Three Revenue Streams — Motel, Restaurant and Pub

Unlike a standard BC motel for sale, the Valhalla Inn earns from three channels. First, motel guests arrive year-round — summer tourists, boaters, and hikers from Valhalla Provincial Park. Winter also brings snowmobile traffic and travelling workers. Second, the restaurant operates in summer and on reduced hours in winter. Finally, the pub runs one shift daily, extended when busy.

Beyond the rooms, the pub and restaurant serve as community institutions. Indeed, New Denver locals rely on the Valhalla Inn as a primary gathering place. This sustains food and beverage revenue year-round, regardless of tourism cycles.

New Denver and the Slocan Lake Advantage

New Denver sits on the eastern shore of Slocan Lake. In fact, the lake is celebrated for swimming, fishing, and kayaking. Moreover, the village sits at the junction of Highway 6 and Highway 31A, 46 kilometres from Nakusp and one hour from Nelson. Consequently, the Valhalla Inn captures both destination visitors and highway travellers.

As the only property in New Denver with rooms, food, and a liquor licence, the Valhalla Inn holds a position competitors cannot easily replicate. In addition, Valhalla Provincial Park draws hikers across the lake all summer. The area also attracts snowmobilers, hunters, and anglers in fall and winter.

Additionally, heritage tourism contributes to demand. Notably, the Nikkei Internment Memorial Centre, the Kohan Reflection Garden, and the Silvery Slocan Museum all bring visitors who need overnight accommodation.
