It is here that you will discover a modern oasis—a most remarkable hotel and wellness centre with European-inspired design elegance. “Unique” doesn’t come close to describing the experience awaiting you at Sparkling Hill Resort—the first resort in North America to incorporate Swarovski crystal elements into every aspect of its design. The mood is set from the moment you enter—iridescence from crystals infused everywhere: in waterfalls, fireplaces and overhead lighting, providing a luminous luxury that is palpable. Bold prisms throughout subtly create a feeling of warmth and serenity. It’s all part of Sparkling Hill Resort’s outstanding master design.
