After most scaffolding was removed last month, all scaffolding is now gone from around Hotel du Canada in the Canada Pavilion in EPCOT. As work wraps up on the hotel façade, Northwest Mercantile has closed for refurbishment.
Hotel du Canada Refurbishment
The fake hotel was previously tan with a brown roof. It’s now more gray with a green roof. Hotel du Canada is inspired by Château Laurier in Ottawa. Disney used forced perspective to make the hotel appear larger than it is.
Refurbishment work began last summer, with the top half of the Canada Pavilion blocked off during construction.
Hotel du Canada used to house the shop Le Boutiques des Provinces but it has been closed for many years. The building now acts as storage and has spaces for Cast Members.
There is still some scaffolding around the entrance to Le Cellier Steakhouse, the “basement” of Hotel du Canada. Construction walls and scrim still cover this scaffolding. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner from noon to 9 p.m.
When we last shared a construction update, scaffolding still went up this side of the hotel. There were also still some construction materials visible around the hotel, but we don’t see anything left now.
Near Canada Far and Wide, the stairs to the upper floor of the pavilion are still blocked by construction walls.
The stairs next to the Trading Post gift shop are also still blocked.
Northwest Mercantile Closed
Trading Post is still open, but Northwest Mercantile is now closed for refurbishment. Cast Members we spoke to did not know when Northwest Mercantile will reopen.
The door to the shop is closed and locked.
Inside Trading Post, black scrim blocks access into Northwest Mercantile. The Canada Pavilion also has merchandise available at a kiosk in front of the pavilion.
Other ongoing EPCOT construction projects include CommuniCore Hall and Plaza in World Celebration and façade work in the U.K. Pavilion.
