The major exterior refurbishment project at the Hotel du Canada in EPCOT's Canada pavilion is continuing this week, with new paintwork now visible.

The exterior of the Hotel du Canada is now half painted in a new color, which is much lighter than the previous beige color scheme.



Le Cellier, located in the building, remains open as normal during the work

Terrible waste of space to put a bloody DVC lounge in there when the Canadian pavilion could use much more than that...

Old photos gave it Grand Floridian vibes, but that's at least closer to the general feel of a posh RR hotel than...rustic lodge.

Waiting to see actual photos, but to be fair the old interior design also didn’t look like the chateau Laurier either. A lot of the world showcase facades don’t match the interiors.

"The entry room is themed like a rustic Canadian lodge, complete with dark wood paneling, cozy lounge-style chairs, and even a classic train set display that ties into the atmosphere." For reference, this is what the lobby of Chateau Laurier (what EPCOT's faux hotel is based on) looks like. "rustic lodge" it is not Chateau Frontenac, what EPCOT's hotel is often assumed to be based on, has a lower ceiling in it's lobby, but not "rustic"
