“After many years of planning, our team is incredibly excited to open The Josie’s doors to visitors to Rossland and our locals,” said Mark Bell, general manager of The Josie. “Our owners, Spencer Clements and David Segers of the William Cole Companies, visited Rossland in 2006 and immediately fell in love with the town. The Josie’s design and architecture pays homage to the surrounding mountains, lush forests and endless sky and we look forward to sharing this with travellers joining us from around the globe. The hotel is truly a beauty to behold and I have no doubt guests will leave transformed, excited and already planning a return visit.”

Always evolving, The Josie will unveil her haven of relaxation in winter 2019, when the spa opens for business. A temple of serenity, it will offer a quiet and intimate retreat that looks out to soothing views of mountain and sky. Treatments will include the Red Flower Apothecary Massage Ritual, a personalized sensory journey whose aromatherapy oils are designed to rejuvenate the body and mind, and the Red Flower Lavender & Amethyst Pedicure, a luxurious experience that leaves guests revitalized with the intoxicating aroma of French lavender. Guests visiting in summer 2019 can cool off in The Josie’s outdoor slopeside pool.
