    This is the only review you’ll need

    Staying here was an absolute treat! The breathtaking glacier view from our room was something out of a painting. The dining experience was delightful, with a wonderful menu. The personalized glacier tours offered added depth to our trip, and the guides were entertaining and knowledgeable. Truly an unforgettable experience!

    breathtaking scenery
    beautiful decor
    attentive staff
    limited options
    short hours

    I enjoyed the stunning views of the Athabasca Glacier from both my room and the lobby. The room was clean with a lovely minimalist style that made it feel spacious. Breakfast was delightful, offering a buffet with plenty of options, and the staff were friendly and attentive throughout my stay. However, the dinner menu at the restaurant had very limited choices, and I expected more for the price I paid per night. Also, I wished the breakfast hours were extended. I missed it by just a few minutes. Overall, the atmosphere and views make this lodge special, but some service aspects felt lacking for the price.

    comfortable room
    great views
    clean accommodation
    limited seating
    common areas

    The location is perfect for exploring nearby attractions like the Columbia Icefield and the stunning scenery it offers. The room was clean, comfortable, and provided excellent views of the glaciers. However, it would be nice to have more seating in the common areas, which felt a bit limited during peak times.

    stunning decor
    confusing directions
    inadequate lighting

    breathtaking scenery, stunning glacier views, beautiful minimalist decor

    Finding the guest parking lot was a hassle due to confusing directions!!! The lighting in the parking area is inadequate, making late-night check-ins frustrating!!! More attention to detail in payment processes could prevent issues!!!

    slow check-in
    unpleasant smell

    Check-in was unusually slow, leaving us waiting for about 30 minutes. Our first room had an undesirable view of the garbage bins, and after moving to one with a view of the glacier, we encountered a funky smell and some unrefilled toiletries. Noise from the hallway often interrupted our peace, making the experience less relaxing than hoped for.

    stunning views
    spacious rooms
    crowded common areas
    limited seating
    evening noise

    The Nordic-style hotel feels impeccably clean and fresh, with spacious rooms featuring high ceilings. The guest lounge offers stunning glacier views along with complimentary tea and coffee, alongside a generous evening charcuterie reception. Dinner was a highlight, particularly the vegan pasta, and breakfast provided a delightful spread with homemade desserts. However, some common areas felt crowded, and more seating would enhance the experience.

    family-friendly activities
    adventurous opportunities
    limited child activities

    Staying here with my family and niece was unforgettable! The breathtaking views of the glaciers and the stunning landscapes made our trip truly special. We loved the opportunity to explore the Icefields Parkway and its hidden treasures, giving us moments of quiet adventure together.

    My kids wished for more outdoor activities specifically designed for children.

    modern design
    stunning views
    slow service
    misleading bookings

    The hotel's modern design and stunning glacier views were truly memorable. The staff's friendliness made the experience enjoyable. However, service at the restaurant was slow, and misleading room bookings caused some early confusion during check-in.
