Hanging out in the Hotel Lobby

This is what you see as you walk through the front entrance of The Rosseau, part of the Red Leaves resort in Muskoka. The resort features the only JW Marriott Hotel in Canada and 1 of 37 in the world. It truly is a world class facility with good restaurants, Spa, nature trails, golf, and great water access. They have done a great job at capturing the spirit of Muskoka throughout the entire place from architecture down to the library filled with Canadian books. The most impressive aspect I have discovered in my many visits are the people that work here. Always friendly and accommodating with bright smiles. Someone has done a great job at hiring the right people, trained them and instilled a belief system that customers really matter.
Unfortunately with overruns and the economic downturn it was forced into receivership. If you have a few hundred Mil you don’t know what to do with you may consider adding this baby to your portfolio.

Isn’t it fun? Well, tragic, if you build it they won’t necessarily come…
They have done some fabulous fundraisers for the community.

I was there with my husband this weekend. What a beautiful resort. Every detail of this place is stunning. I would hate to see this place go down hill.

It looks like a beautiful place but so very empty in your photo.
