Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge

Deluxe Accommodation in the Rockies

Description

During the booming tourist trade of 1915, this now five-star resort was nothing more than a tent city. The tents were replaced by log cabins in 1922, but when those burned down in 1952, the 446 room lodge that now sits on the site was constructed. Situated on the shores of Lac Beauvert, the hotel can accommodate as many as 900 guests. But you don't have to be a guest to appreciate all the resort has to offer. Besides stunning views of the Canadian Rockies, both registered and unregistered guests can enjoy horseback riding, hiking, golfing, and canoeing and kayaking around the lake, or fine dining at the lodge. In 1922, you could rent a room for $3 a night, but expect to pay a wee bit more these days if you plan to stick around for a while.
