"Set just over an hour from Calgary, this lodge redefines escaping into the Canadian Rockies: originally opened for the 1988 Winter Olympics, it has evolved from a classic mountain retreat into a polished alpine haven with rustic‑modern rooms, five restaurants that celebrate Alberta and B.C. produce with global flair, and easy access to some of the region’s best hiking and cross‑country trails. I appreciated oversized beds with crisp linens, antler wall hooks for coats, and the lodge’s secluded, couples‑friendly vibe; the property also hosts events of stature (the Black Diamond Club welcomed attendees during the recent G7). Rates start at about $425 USD per night and the overall feel is a modern mountain lodge that truly celebrates the wild beauty of the Rockies." - Britney Eschelman
