The Josie Hotel is the newest boutique ski-in, ski-out hotel at Red Mountain Resort, filling the gap perfectly for those skiers who seek a hip and upmarket hotel with prime access for exploring the slopes. You really can't get much closer to the famous Powder Highway snow than this!
From the moment you walk into the stunning lobby of The Josie Hotel you will never want to leave. Whether it's the crackling fireplace, or comfy couches (with boardgames to match), or the refurbished chairlifts hanging from the ceiling, it seems like The Josie has raised the bar when it comes to trendy ski hotels in Canada (something that has been missing in the market for quite awhile). The staff are warm and welcoming, and greet you with a smile that you're sure to see every time you leave your room to ski - true Rossland mountain hospitality with an inner-city feel.
The guest rooms at The Josie truly make the most of their alpine location with spectacular views across the valley and slopes. All bedrooms have been designed with comfortable king or queen beds and spacious ensuite with large walk-in showers. We particularly love nestling up on the cozy love seats with a wine, or spoiling ourselves with a nice, long soak in the deep tub (available in some rooms). There are a range of rooms on offer, from standard guest rooms to studio suites, and many options of view (partial, valleyside, or slopeside views). The decor is modern and chic, with touches of calming hues that make the rooms feel even more luxurious. Being under the Noble House banner, The Josie offers unparalleled levels of service and style throughout the hotel, which is evident with the little touches (like super soft robes, designer bath products, and heavenly pillows) that make you want to skip skiing altogether and hole up in your own little oasis for the day. When Scout were lucky to stay in Red we loved returning home from dinner to an up-to-date ski report for the following few days and personalised turn-down service.
The on-site facilities at The Josie Hotel are also something to write home about. The hotel restaurant and bar look set to become a new après ski favourite with cosy booths, slope-side tables, and bar stools for every kind of mood. Start your day with a hearty breakfast, or pop in for a light meal (the burgers are amazing) or sharing platter for lunch, and unwind with a nightcap after a long day on the slopes - The Velvet really does have something for everyone. The hotel boasts a concierge service, ski storage and valet, and even a wellness spa and fitness centre. Choose a massage or a daily yoga class to help you relax and unwind while soothing your tight muscles. There is a Get Lost Adventure Centre located nearby for you to make the most of your ski vacation and sign up for a heli-ski, cat-ski, or guided mountain adventure. There are plans for an outdoor pool and hot tub on the horizon, which will take the slopside appeal of The Josie Hotel to a whole other level.
The Josie Hotel is a fantastic ski-in ski-out lodging option in Red Mountain, perfect for couples and solo skiers who seek a little style to their ski vacation and a change from the standard ski hotel or condo. It is sure to become one of the must-stay spots in BC - we almost didn't want to share it with you and keep it just for ourselves!
