The hotel will include a pool, new restaurants and additional space for gambling. The massive construction will serve as an addition to the already existing casino which opened in January 2018. “There’s a need there in the community for it,” Chairwoman Rebecca Richards of the Pokagon Band Tribal Council said of the hotel. The casino is run by the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians, which also operates Four Winds Casinos in New Buffalo, Hartford and Dowagiac, Michigan. It will offer 317 rooms for guests of the casino. On March 1, the city of South Bend will see the opening of a new, 23-story hotel at the Four Winds Casino.Ĭonstruction of the hotel was announced in 2019.
