It overlooks the Predator Ridge community and its two top Canadian golf courses and is next to one of the fastest growing wine areas of B.C., known as the Scenic Sip wine trail. The resort opened with 150 rooms, a gourmet restaurant and a cafe. “I later asked him why and he said he immediately felt this would work, 100 per cent,” Mayr says. Mayr found it hard to believe that such an important man could trust someone he didn’t know on a project to be built on a different continent. “I just contacted him and at our first meeting he reached out his hand and said, ‘We will do this together,’ ” he says. Mayr’s road to Sparkling Hill came via an unlikely partnership with Swarovski - a man he had never met. Then there’s the fitness centre, yoga room, serenity rooms and seven steam baths and saunas. The resort includes a 40,000-square-foot European-inspired KurSpa (Kur is the German word for healing) with more than 100 treatments and therapies, 48 treatment rooms and the first European-style Cryotherapy Cold Sauna (-110☌) in North America. With the personal financial backing of Gernot Langes-Swarovski - the patriarch of the Austrian Swarovski crystal empire - Mayr opened the $122 million Sparkling Hill Resort in 2010.
