The Journey of Mythral Crest
1987 - The Beginning
It all started with a dream and a patch of untouched mountain land. Margaret and Thomas Brennan fell in love with this spot during a hiking trip - couldn't shake the feeling that this place was meant to be shared with the world. They weren't hotel people, really. Just two folks who appreciated good coffee, better views, and honest conversations around a fireplace.
1992 - Opening Day
Five years of construction, countless setbacks (mountain weather'll do that), and we finally opened our doors. Started with just 24 rooms and a small dining area. Thomas insisted on hand-selecting every piece of furniture himself - drove Margaret nuts, but you can still see some of those original pieces in our lobby today.
2003 - The Spa Addition
After years of guests asking where they could get a proper massage, we finally caved and built the wellness center. Margaret's idea, really - she'd always believed that mountains heal more than just the soul. Partnered with local thermal spring experts and created something pretty special.
2015 - New Generation
Their daughter Claire took over management, bringing fresh ideas while keeping that original spirit intact. Added the ski-in/ski-out access everyone kept requesting, expanded to 78 suites, but made sure every single space still feels personal. No corporate cookie-cutter nonsense here.
Today - Living the Legacy
We're still family-owned, still stubborn about quality, and still believe that luxury isn't about being fancy - it's about feeling genuinely welcomed. Three generations later, we're doing exactly what Thomas and Margaret set out to do: creating a place where people can breathe easier and smile more.
