Construction has started on a new 90-room, four-storey hotel in Fredericton.
Best Western is opening a location at 333 Bishop Dr. A building permit for the project was issued mid-July and site work has started.
Saulnier Management of Tracadie-Sheila is the general contractor for the development.
Best Western International Inc. is the world's largest hotel brand. It has more than 4,200 hotels in 80 countries.
The hotel chain was founded in 1946. It has four locations in New Brunswick, including hotels in Dalhousie, Grand Falls, Moncton and Woodstock.
A spokesperson for the hotel chain could not be reached Friday for comment on the project.
