Conference Centre & Theatre at Solara Resort & Spa Opens for Business

Bellstar Celebrates Eight Successful Years

Leading Resort Management Company Extends Rewards to Guests

CALGARY, ALBERTA: (August 10, 2011) Bellstar Hotels & Resorts is excited to announce the opening of a leading conference facility in Canmore, Alberta. The Three Peaks Conference Centre & Aurora Theatre at Solara Resort & Spa was recently completed and has proven to be an instant hit with business groups, convention organizers, and brides-to-be.

Facilities, which including meeting rooms, multi-use spaces and a theatre, are fully equipped with the latest audio-visual technology. Three Peaks Conference Centre brings a new standard of venue to this popular Canadian Rocky Mountain resort community.

“It is with great enthusiasm that we welcome guests to Bellstar’s newest conference centre,” says Ed Romanowski, President and CEO of Bellstar Hotels & Resorts. “Guests will be delighted by this state-of-the-art facility - the first of its kind in Canmore - and the luxurious accommodations at Solara Resort & Spa.”

This 5,000-square-foot conference centre caters to a diverse range of groups, from company retreats and conferences, to visioning sessions and weddings, with space to accommodate up to 300 people in three unique rooms. The Solara Conference Room showcases built-in projection screens with the flexibility to be separated into two smaller meeting rooms (Bow and Chinook) and in the Aurora Theatre, where up to 100 guests can
enjoy a full size (24ft x 13ft) projection screen and retractable seating for set-up versatility. The Solara Conference Room and Aurora Theatre are equipped with high-tech audiovisual equipment and surround sound systems.

The flexible Solara pre-conference foyer space, which accommodates up to 70 guests, may be used for delegate registration, morning breakfasts and standing receptions. The Solara Grand Foyer - a bright, open space with floor-to-ceiling windows and an impressive fireplace - is an ideal delegate registration area or a casual standing reception for up to 40 people. Amenities at the 38,000-square-foot resort include hot pools and a family play area. A fitness centre and a health spa operated by One Wellness, will launch in the fall, although interim spa services are available via a unique spa suite, housing a full service satellite spa.

Named in acknowledgement of Solara Resort & Spa’s striking location, Three Peaks Conference Centre is close to the heart of Canmore, in the beautiful Bow Valley. Guests can experience vistas of the Canadian Rocky Mountains from almost every window and balcony including the memorable peaks of the ‘Three Sisters’. Canmore has a wide range of services with world-class dining, a variety of shopping, artesian shops and adventure activities in the town and at its doorstep. Solara Resort & Spa will complement more intimate meetings facilities at other Canmore-based Bellstar managed resort properties including Blackstone Mountain Lodge, Canmore Crossing, The Lodges at Canmore and more.
