Fred and Charles Thulin originally from Sweden built the first licensed hotel outside of Vancouver in 1895 on the permanent occupation site of Klah ah men, a thriving village used by the Tla’amin, and renamed the site Lund, after a town in Sweden.

The Nation have refurbished and taken over operations of the resort creating a unique experience for guests.
