Most Pacific Northwest hoteliers play it safe, perhaps to let the spectacular landscapes and seascapes have the last word. Sparkling Hill Resort, in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley, is another story — it’s an impressive piece of contemporary architecture, and and an unapologetically luxe one at that. It’s a Swarovski project — hence the abundance of crystals — but it’s focused more on wellness than on glamour. The rooms are large and luxurious, with vast windows overlooking the mountains or the lake, and the spa offerings are encyclopedic, ranging from a massage or manicure to vitamin infusions an even nutrition counseling. Take their advice to the PeakFine restaurant with its locally sourced cuisine and its expansive views.
