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 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 journey aboard the Rocky Mountaineer pauses overnight in Kamloops, allowing the train to travel exclusively during daylight hours so that you can fully appreciate the dramatic landscapes of western Canada. On arrival in the evening, you will be transferred to a comfortable hotel in Kamloops, selected by Rocky Mountaineer.
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.
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.
