Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge

The Fairmont Jasper Park is nestled within Jasper National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of Jasper National Park in Alberta. The resort provides a stunning location from which to explore a region of Canada that has been rightly described as one of the most beautiful and striking places in the world to visit.

Location

This Canadian Lodge is in the magnificent Jasper National Park and in the shadow of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. This 700-acre luxury mountain resort wraps around the shores of the beautiful and pristine Lac Beauvert and the banks of the Athabasca River. Moreover, Fairmont Jasper Park is just outside the town of Jasper. It is about three hours from Edmonton by car, although the casual visitor may take longer due to the many attractive places to stop and visit along the way.

Additionally, various parts of the hotel are connected by picturesque paths that wind through the local countryside. This gives a feeling that the hotel has grown out of the landscape rather than been built upon. Besides, there is always the possibility of encountering the local wildlife while exploring the grounds of this beautiful property.

Facilities

Fairmont Jasper Park enjoys the benefits of a significant renovation in 2014. This upgraded the quality, styling, and facilities offered to guests, particularly in terms of the rooms and cabins and the front desk area and meeting spaces.

As well as the standard facilities that one would expect from a high-quality international hotel, the perfect location of the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge allows access to a wide range of outdoor recreational facilities, either onsite or in the surrounding region. These include winter activities such as skiing and ice skating.

There are also summer activities such as mountain biking, horseback ride, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, and golf. A one-hour paddleboat on the nearby lake is a common feature of cabin rental, although other activities may involve an extra cost.

Rooms and Suites

The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge is quite distinctive. Rather than being one building, which is the most common styling of many hotels worldwide, the hotel has a combination of buildings. These include the main building or lodge and several cedar chalets and luxury signature cabins connected to the main hotel. Moreover, they are based around the 700-acre year-round luxury mountain resort by pathways.

The resort has 442 rooms, suites, and cabins. There are options for single travelers and entire families. The luxurious Signature Cabins is a perfect getaway for whole families who want to enjoy the combination of hotel-based luxury and comfort.

Additionally, cabins and rooms all feature luxurious beds designed and installed to guarantee great sleep. There are also well-appointed fixtures and furnishings with soft and cool color palettes. Besides, you'll get outstanding views of Jasper National Park the moment you look out of the window or open the cabin door. Many rooms and cabins also have unparalleled views looking over to the lakes and mountains, with ample balconies and space to stretch and unwind.

Amenities provided by Rose 32 are standard in the bathrooms. There are also rain showers and a modern aesthetic in these bathrooms. Also, many rooms and cabins have modern televisions and amenities for making drinks, including coffee machines and a mini-fridge.

Restaurant and Bar

Fairmont Jasper Park has eight restaurants. They offer a range of different flavors from around the world and showcase the local delights of what Alberta has to offer.
