This week we are being featured on Jon Albano’s Lodging Leaders Podcast! It was great to chat with Jon about the Hazelnut Inn and everything else the Imagination Corporation.
You can listen to the podcast on iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play or TuneIn.
This week Becké and Hailey Headed down to South Carolina for a hotel convention. It was a long journey but - since we are all rather new to the hotel business - it was a great research trip. They are on their way home now with their suitcases stuffed full of brochures!
Hailey and Becké had a great time at the All Dressed In White Bridal Show this weekend! It is always exciting to see peoples eyes light up as we explain that, yes the hotel does look like the model, and yes the rooms will be as spectacular on the inside as they are the outside. Working on the inn everyday, we sometimes forget just how special it really is!
We will be on the road again in February, on Saturday the 23rd, for the Swank Wedding Show at the Pan Pacific Hotel in Vancouver. I hope we get a chance to see you there!
Hailey and Becké had a great time at the Westin Bayshore Hotel last weekend for the 42nd Annual Wedding Fair. They had our model on display and chatted with two or three hundred brides to be (and one groom). Everyone agreed the Hazelnut Inn will be a magical honeymoon spot (and the groom really wants to hold a Dungeons & Dragons tournament in the Under Hill suite).
We are going to be at the Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Hotel on Sunday, January 27 for the All Dressed In White Bridal Show. We will have the model on display so be sure to swing by our booth if you happen to be in the neighbourhood!
Also, we have five pairs of tickets for the show to give away to couples who are getting married! Anyone who is engaged can enter the draw by dropping us an email through our website. So, be sure to tag any of your affianced friends so that they have the chance to enter by January 7th!
We are still a few years away from finishing construction, but our plan is to open the North Star suite with the Under Hill and Copper Crown suites following close behind.
According to local legend, the North Star was once the home of Ms. Temperance Longbottom. Best know as the captain of the privateer ship, Avellana (guests will sleep in the captain’s quarters), Ms. Longbottom once discovered a pirates’ lair; filled with wonders and relics from every mythical corner of the world. After relieving these rogues of their ill gotten gain, she set off on a series of voyages; intent on returning the artifacts to their various homes. Sadly, Temperance never returned from these travels. As a result, the North Star and its attached private garden are filled with the remnants of the pirates’ trove — ancient statues and arcane paraphernalia. Temperance's ramshackle property is perfect for couples looking for a one-of-a-kind romantic hideaway.
