This decision was a strategic one for Cilantro’s parent hospitality company, Canadian Rocky Mountain Resorts, the statement revealed.
The company will be focusing on “new avenues of growth within the city of Calgary” while continuing to operate its other properties like The Lake House in Calgary, Buffalo Mountain Lodge in Banff, Deer Lodge in Lake Louise, and Emerald Lake Lodge in Field, BC.
