Northern Quest opened in 1999 as a modest casino encompassing just over 55,000 square feet. Under the guidance of the Kalispel Tribal Economic Authority, it was later expanded to include a 250-room, world-class hotel with a luxurious spa, a dozen restaurants and lounges, retail outlets and other entertainment amenities. Today it is a highly acclaimed Forbes 4-star and AAA Four Diamond resort and casino and a premier vacation destination.
