The Royal Duke Hotel will be out of commission for the next little while.

Around 5:30 a.m. on Wednesday morning the Okotoks Fire Department responded to a call at hotel & pub on Elizabeth Street in Okotoks. 

The hotel & fire department confirmed that cold temperatures caused a water pipe to break. 

Clean up crews have been working since 6 a.m. and the Royal Duke Hotel and pub remains closed till further notice. 

There is no word onto when the Royal Duke will re-open as assessors are currently looking at the damages and how long it will take to complete.

We'll have more information as it becomes available in the coming days.
