Everything is so unique and actually well priced for the quality. I was always impressed with the service and I absolutely love the 0 waste approach. Stellar Jays was the highlight of our trip by far, the arctic char brought me to tears. No im not being dramatic. Also they plant a tree for every night you stay there which means so much. Thank you populus!
Had an unbelievably lovely stay here. I am a huge fan of high hotels and this one really stands out with a great price point too. The restaurant was also fantastic. Great rooms, great service, will definitely be back!
