More Than Just a Stay

Look, we get it - you can sleep anywhere. But can you sip wine that's been aging in a 200-year-old cellar? Can you get a massage where knights once stood guard? That's what we thought. Every corner of Pyrelith has a story, and honestly, we're kinda obsessed with sharing them with folks who appreciate the finer things mixed with a bit of history.

Seasonal Adventures

We've got something special cooking every season - because variety's the spice of life, right?

Spring Awakening

March - May

Spring hits different here. We're talking garden tours through grounds that've been blooming for generations, yoga sessions at sunrise with the fortress silhouette behind you, and our chef goes absolutely wild with fresh local ingredients. Plus, there's something magical about watching the old stones warm up after winter.

Summer Indulgence

June - August

Summer's when we really show off. The courtyards come alive with evening concerts - classical stuff mostly, fits the vibe. Wine tastings under the stars, al fresco dining that'll make you forget your diet exists, and our pool area? Let's just say it's not your average hotel pool. We've also got extended heritage tours 'cause the long days mean you can actually see everything properly.

Autumn Retreat

September - November

Okay, fall's our favourite - don't tell the other seasons. The whole place gets this golden glow, and we lean into it hard. Harvest dinners featuring BC's best, spa treatments with pumpkin and spices (sounds weird, feels amazing), and our famous Ghost Stories Night where our historians share the juicier tales. The foliage around here? Chef's kiss.

Winter Sanctuary

December - February

Winter here is pure coziness. Fireplaces crackling in every common area, mulled wine that'll warm you from the inside out, and spa sessions that make you never wanna leave. We do special holiday programming too - think Victorian Christmas vibes but, y'know, with central heating. The fortress looks absolutely epic with snow on the battlements, perfect for those Instagram moments.

Heritage Tours

Deep Dive Heritage Tours

We're not talking about some rushed 20-minute walkthrough. Our guides are history nerds in the best way - they'll take you through secret passages, up into tower rooms that aren't usually open, and share stories that didn't make it into the brochures. Two hours minimum, but most folks end up staying longer 'cause there's just so much to see. Fair warning: you might leave knowing more about medieval architecture than you ever expected.

  • Access to restricted tower areas
  • Personal historian guide
  • Archival photo collection viewing
  • Complimentary heritage booklet
Wine Experience

Cellar Master's Selection

Our wine cellar's been around since 1847, and honestly, it shows - in the best way possible. The sommelier will walk you through vintages that've been aging down there longer than most of us have been alive. We pair each pour with small bites from the kitchen, and the whole thing happens in this incredible vaulted space that's basically a work of art itself. It's intimate, it's educational, and yeah, you'll probably end up buying a bottle or three.

  • 6-course wine and food pairing
  • Rare vintage tastings
  • Private cellar access
  • Expert sommelier guidance
Spa Sanctuary

Fortress Wellness Journey

This isn't your average spa day. We've designed treatments that actually match the heritage vibe - think hot stone massages using basalt from the original fortress foundations, herbal wraps with recipes that date back centuries, and a mineral bath situation that'll make every muscle in your body thank you. The whole spa's built into what used to be the old armory, so you're basically getting pampered where weapons were once stored. Talk about a glow-up.

  • 3-hour personalized treatment
  • Access to all thermal areas
  • Organic refreshments included
  • Relaxation lounge with fortress views

The heritage tour completely blew my mind. Our guide, Thomas, knew every stone's story and honestly made me feel like I'd stepped back in time. Plus the wine pairing dinner afterwards? Incredible. Worth every penny and then some.

Brought my wife here for our anniversary and she's already planning our next visit. The spa treatments were next level - that hot stone massage is no joke. And sleeping in a tower suite? That's something you don't forget. The concierge team made everything seamless.

I've stayed at a lot of fancy places but this is different. There's real soul here. The autumn harvest dinner was phenomenal - local ingredients prepared with so much care. And walking the grounds at sunset? Magic. Can't wait to come back in spring.
