Meet our team

Lisa J. Levasseur

Founder

Internationally recognized Canadian artist Lisa J Levasseur, is the visionary leader behind the INNhotels brand. A company built by her father now with 10 hotels in BC & AB, including locations throughout the Rocky Mountains. As a successful businesswoman, gallery owner and artist she recognized the opportunity to help promote local arts & culture through the hotels. She founded the Rocky Mountain Art Tour to support the local artists and offer a unique guest experience. While running Terracana Ranch Resort in BC, Lisa found time to pursue her passion for art in 2010 and quickly emerged an artist with her first exhibition in NY. She became recognized as the creator of PaletteArt™ a new art from using 100% acrylic recycled art paint to sculpt 3D one-of-a-kind award winning paintings. Lisa has since been featured as a Modern Art Master and Top Contemporary Artist in magazines, books & exhibitions all over the world. Her work now hangs in private, public & museum collections next to the likes of Picasso, Renoir & Dali. Her main goal has been to help other artists and get them involved in paint recycling. Now working full time running INNhotels with little time for art, Lisa is even more driven to support and promote fellow artists while celebrating the majestic landscapes of the Canadian Rockies, Lisa now invites you to join her on a journey through this breathtaking region, where each brushstroke tells a story, and every canvas captures the essence of nature's grandeur. Explore the Rocky Mountain Art Tour and immerse yourself in a world where art and adventure converge.

what a way to visit Canada

A once in a lifetime dream vacation through the Canadian Rockies. Travel the parkway to the world-renowned tourist destinations of Banff, Lake Louise, Jasper, and Mount Robson.

In springtime, the air breathes of new growth and crisp winter memories that remain on snow-capped mountains, as waterfalls begin to flow from beneath clear blue ice.

By fall the summer crowd fades and our Indian summer paints the forest in fiery red, vibrant orange, crimson, and gold, the Northern lights often cascade across the sky beyond the dark mountain tops and reflect on jewel tone lakes.
