Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge
Surrounded by the snow-capped peaks of the Canadian Rockies and set between two emerald lakes, the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge is situated just outside Jasper town. Deer and elk graze peacefully in the woods and the traditional, log cabin design blends gracefully into the surroundings.
Although the resort is not as decadent as Fairmont's other properties, it is the premier accommodation option in the area and has a wide range of facilities and activities. There's a good choice of rooms from simple Fairmont Rooms with modern, corporate-style decor to Lakeview Suites with glorious views and speciality cabins with up to eight bedrooms. Some rooms are bright and contemporary while others are more rustic with stone fireplaces or wood-burning stoves.
There is also a good selection of dining options onsite, from the Moose's Nook Chophouse to an Italian trattoria, sushi bar and the award-winning Edith Cavell fine-dining restaurant.
The resort has its own 18-hole golf course, a lakefront swimming pool, a variety of water sports and horse riding. The hotel spa is regarded as one of the finest in Canada and the lodge is conveniently situated to discover Jasper National Park with hiking, fishing, climbing and skiing nearby.

Lighter meals are served in the Emerald Lounge, while there's a seasonal barbecue and more dramatic views on Thompson's Terrace. Guests can also request a private barbecue outside your cabin.
