VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, April 11, 2008 – Boutique Hotels & Resorts of British Columbia has added an exciting new destination to its growing portfolio of luxury hotels and resorts with the addition of the Nelsen Lodge in Revelstoke, British Columbia. The first phase of development for Revelstoke Mountain Resort, the new 221-suite Nelsen Lodge is scheduled to open its first of its three buildings with 59 suites in fall 2008 and the remaining suites opening over the next twelve months.
