Sparkling Hill Resort Vernon B.C.
A focal point of the resort is the entrance lobby, a three-story glass atrium that sparkles like a crystal. The complexity of replicating the multifaceted twinkle of crystal, in a span of over 18 meters on a mountaintop, posed significant design challenges. An innovative design was created incorporating the use of tension cables and point-supported glass hardware to sustain over 90 uniquely shaped pieces of glass, angled at different directions in the 3D space.

We stayed at this wellness spa for two nights as we celebrated our best friends' anniversary. It is European inspired and is located on a 188-acre mountaintop site overlooking Okanagan Lake in Vernon, BC. Its panoramic views of the mountains and the lake are breathtaking. Swarovski crystals and lighting systems are integrated into the hotel's fixtures, finishes, lighting, and overall architecture, giving the resort its literal 'sparkle.' (Swarovski is the major investor of this hotel). This is one very impressive hotel and spa.
