Glacier View Lodge

Staying at Glacier View Lodge was an unforgettable experience. The location is absolutely breathtaking, with panoramic views of the glacier right outside—it felt like being in the middle of a postcard. Waking up to such stunning scenery was the highlight of the trip. The food was exceptional, with every meal prepared beautifully and full of flavor. It added so much to the overall experience, and it was clear that a lot of care went into the dining. The rooms were also very nice—spacious, comfortable, and well-designed, with everything you’d expect from a high-quality lodge. They offered both comfort and warmth, which made relaxing after a day of exploring so easy. Overall, Glacier View Lodge combines luxury, natural beauty, and great hospitality in one place. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

The Glacier View Lodge was a lovely place situated right on an overlook of the Athabasca Glacier, about halfway between Lake Louise and Jasper on the Icefields Parkway. We stayed there one night and had an excellent experience. Our room was very spacious, well laid out, attractive and comfortable. We had a great view of the glacier from our room, and an even more spectacular view from the beautiful lobby of the hotel. We were welcomed there with a late afternoon cocktail and hors d'oeuvres. We also had a fine dinner in their restaurant, Altitude. A special shout out to Bronte at the front desk who went out of her way to be kind and helpful and is obviously an outstanding employee.

Our stay at Glacier View Lodge was the highlight of our 2 week trip! From the moment we stepped off the elevator until check out we were treated like royalty. ||Our room was large and modern with upgraded amenities like a Dyson hair dryer and Nespresso coffee maker. The windows in the reception area are the ones in the pictures. The room windows are not quite as big but it was still a wonderful view of the glacier. ||We attended the cocktail/charcuterie reception for all guests (maybe 25 people?) and were surprised at the amount of food. The free drinks were a pink slushy with gin - not to my taste so I opted for an $11 beer. Most drank the hotel cocktails and mingled, a nice touch!||Afterwards we ate at the Altitude Restaurant, which was also fantastic. ||Need I say more? We loved it here and were sad to leave.

The loft room is modern rustic style. Spacious with 3 queen beds. Equipped with two Dyson heater/cooler, a Dyson hair dryer, Nespresso machine, and hot water boiler. Rocky Mountain soap bath and body products. Mattress is extremely comfortable. This hotel could be rated a four star. They provide warm welcome and a reception in early evening with free cocktail, cheese and sausage. Another advantage of staying here is getting a fantastic view of the glacier around sunrise and sunset.

This is a great way to fully experience the Athabascan Glacier area. We did the complete tour, room, skywalk, walk on glacier. Arriving in the late afternoon allowed us to visit the Skywalk with just 24 people. No long lines to stand in ever. Rooms are spare but clean. Enjoying a charcuterie tray and drinks in the lounge with spectacular view of glacier is a special memory. Getting up early enabled us to walk on the glacier before the crowds appeared. Again no lines to wait in. Food choices are adequate.

Had a night here whilst travelling only the Icefield Parkway between Jasper and Banff.|Great location with easy access to the tourist sites of the glacier and skywalk. Very handy having allocated parking, although it is quite a walk from the car park with luggage ( there was a porter service but it was complicated to use) so try and take only what you need.|The reception staff were friendly and welcoming and the room clean and spacious with a great view. Nice welcome drink and nibbles.|Because we had also booked a package which reduced the price of multiple attractions in the park we could take advantage of being the last to the skywalk in the evening and first to the glacier in the morning as part of the hotel stay ( extra cost) but it didnt make too much difference.

We had a fantastic one stay at Glacier View, which included half board and trips to the Skywalk and Glacier.|The staff were all very helpful, in particular Maddy, who went out of her way to ensure we had a great stay. |Our room was lovely, with amazing views of the glacier. The welcome cocktail and nibbles were a real treat.|I absolutely cannot fault it; we were sad to leave.

Our rooms well roomy, comfortable and well-appointed. The view from the lobby is fantastic, and the happy hour drinks and charcuterie board were a welcome surprise. Somehow we missed the fact that the hotel sits on top of a sprawling tourist center that hosts a gift shop and tours of the glacier. Very crowded, even in late September. The restaurants are shared by both hotel guests and the public, and were disappointing. Chalet is just a food court - very mediocre, and the "fancy" Altitude option had better food, but was a very spartan dining experience. In the end, glad we stayed here.

We really enjoyed our stay here and greatly appreciated the private tour of the Sky Walk and Glacier which they provided for guests only. That made life much easier and we avoided the crowds. The beds were great and the rooms were nicely appointed. A very special treat at a fair price.
