In-Depth Review of Eleven Revelstoke Lodge in Canada - AFAR

"Housed in a 1911 brick heritage building in Revelstoke, this 12-room boutique hotel and heli-skiing lodge has been redesigned by a Colorado-based adventure- travel operator to offer a more luxe, high-touch stay for outdoors-focused adults. It operates heli-skiing in winter in partnership with Kingfisher Heli-Skiing (winter packages can reach about $11,436/night for 1–3 guests) and targets couples or friend groups in summer, with rates from roughly $236; family stays are not the primary focus and most rooms have a two-person maximum. Three spacious two-level suites and nine smartly outfitted standard rooms (about 210–290 sq ft) feature midcentury-modern furnishings, colorful wool blankets, very comfortable beds, and well-appointed bathrooms with heated-seat toilets, brass fixtures, walk-in rain showers, and Aveda products; being an in-town property, most rooms don’t have standout mountain views. The seasonal, street-level eatery provides an included hearty breakfast (examples: shrimp toast or multigrain porridge with crème fraîche sorbet) and a dinner menu showcasing starters like gochujang-spiced sablefish wings and trout with fiddleheads, mains such as pork schnitzel and steak frites, and desserts like a honey-scented beeswax sorbet with bee-pollen streusel; cocktails are served at a U-shaped bar or in a snug guests-only lounge. Staff—many of whom are local outdoor enthusiasts—offer experience-planning services (whitewater rafting, guided hikes, canoe trips) for longer summer stays and organize daily ski adventures, meals, and travel planning as part of winter packages. Accessibility is limited: there is an elevator, but only one room (the 276-square-foot Fosthall) has an accessible shower and sufficient bedroom space for a wheelchair. Wellness amenities include a lower-level spa with four treatment rooms, a terrace sauna and small steam room, and a rooftop hot tub overlooking the surrounding mountains." - Carolyn B. Heller
