The Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe of Washington plans to break ground on a hotel at its casino by the end of the month.

The 74,000 square-foot hotel will feature 94 rooms on four floors. The design will incorporate traditional elements, including a tribal art center and a totem pole carved by Jake Jones, Kingston Community News reported.

"The Point Hotel’s design is rooted in a style known as Coast Modern, an adapted contemporary design that has been modified for the Northwest region," the casino website states. "The hotel takes these elements to create a unique expression based on this Coast Modern tradition, adapting key architectural ideas from the longhouse and other traditional tribal architecture with the all-cedar plank construction that is historically known to the Port Gamble S'Klallam."

The hotel, which will be the second largest in the area, is due to open in the fall of 2016. It will be located at the original site of The Point Casino.

The casino itself moved into a new 52,000-square-foot building in 2012.
