Royal visit makes Whitehorse inn ‘world’s most-popular three-star hotel’
WHITEHORSE — A hotel in Yukon’s capital is talking itself up as the “world’s most popular three star hotel” after hosting the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and getting worldwide attention.
British media outlets devoted a fair amount of observation to the Coast High Country Inn, where Prince William and Kate spent the night last Tuesday. The Daily Mail categorized the Whitehorse accommodations as “rustic” and noted the hotel’s three-star rating. Later the Express did a long piece describing a facelift given to the room the royals slept in.
Philip Fitzgerald, president of hotels with Northern Vision Development, didn’t seem unhappy with all the fuss.
“It’s great to get the international marketing exposure as the world’s most-popular three-star hotel,” Fitzgerald said with a laugh.
