Misty mornings catch the first light on jagged peaks, while rivers carve glowing ribbons through emerald valleys. Crisp air carries the scent of pine as the Rocky Mountaineer winds through soaring mountains and glacier-draped slopes of the Canadian Rockies, each turn revealing dense forests, thundering waterfalls, and hidden alpine lakes.

Still waters reflect towering summits, and small mountain towns pass by with a quiet, unhurried charm. The journey settles into memory – an unbroken rhythm of sweeping vistas, shifting light, and the enduring grandeur of the Canadian wilderness.

Located along the vibrant main street of Banff, in the heart of Banff National Park, the Banff Caribou Lodge & Spa is a welcoming 4-star retreat with direct access to the town’s lively cafés, boutiques, galleries and riverside trails. Its rustic lodge-inspired character – all timber-and-stone accents and a glowing lobby fireplace – creates an atmosphere that is both relaxed and gently refined.

 

L’Hermitage Hotel

L’Hermitage Hotel Vancouver is a luxury property set in the heart of downtown Vancouver’s prime shopping and business district. Contemporary in style yet quietly refined, it’s been thoughtfully designed to provide a calm, residential atmosphere amid the city’s energy.

 

Your Kamloops Stay

On arrival in the evening, you will be transferred to a comfortable hotel in Kamloops, selected by Rocky Mountaineer.

 

Forest Park Hotel

A short walk from downtown Jasper, Forest Park Hotel offers a relaxed, contemporary base framed by the quiet pines and mountain views of the national park. The property spans two wings – the modern Alpine wing with its clean lines and warm, wood-toned design, and the original Woodland wing, which retains a more classic lodge feel – providing a choice of style and atmosphere.

 

Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise

Perched on the eastern shore of the emerald-green Lake Louise, the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise is a majestic 5-star retreat offering an unmistakably alpine luxury experience. Steeped in early 20th-century railway-hotel heritage, the property blends historic elegance with the untamed beauty of the Canadian Rockies, framed by the Victoria Glacier and the dramatic peaks of the Bow Valley.
