Finding a Hotel in Alberta's Rockies
• A WorldWeb.com Travel Guide for Alberta's Rockies, Alberta.
The Alberta Rockies are a destination of world-class calibre. For visitors and locals alike, outdoor recreation is the activity of choice among the towering peaks, and regardless of the season the area offers something for everyone. Extending along the border between Alberta and British Columbia, the distinctive tourist region is comprised of a scattering of quaint mountain towns and hamlets, each offering unique attractions and comfortable lodging choices. Hotels throughout the area range from upscale resort-style complexes to independently run, well-appointed motel-style properties, all offering easy access to diverse sights, services and matchless experiences.
ALBERTA ROCKIES NORTH
Grande Cache, Hinton, Jasper and the Icefields Parkway Region make up the primary northern destinations within this vast, mountainous playground. Highlights of a trip north include the beautiful and relatively untouched Willmore Wilderness Park, the majestic Jasper National Park and numerous natural wonders in between. Travellers seeking authentic mountain experiences and unspoiled beauty needn't travel farther than the northern area, where hotel selections include fully appointed rooms at chain-brand properties, basic but comfy guest units in family-run motels, budget-friendly choices and charming alpine-inspired units. Guests can expect standard to above-standard amenities at most northern hotels, including value-added features like wireless Internet, complimentary continental breakfast, kitchenette-equipped family suites, indoor pools, conference facilities and on-site restaurants.
BANFF & LAKE LOUISE
Two destinations most synonymous with the Alberta Rockies, Lake Louise and Banff provide a diverse selection of lodging choices to suit travellers touring on a budget or those looking for the ultimate in extravagance. Regardless of choice, the majority of hotels offer awe-inspiring mountain views and handy access to recreation, dining and shopping. In keeping with the areas' unique alpine aesthetic, independent lodge-style properties are at the core of the hotel scene in both mountain villages.
While offering traditional guest amenities, many of these hotels offer a distinct quaintness, making for an even more authentic mountain experience. Visitors can expect many of the comforts of home as well as simple luxuries like communal hot tubs, deluxe continental breakfast, ski equipment storage and pool facilities. Boutique-style hotels, upscale resorts and historic properties round out the selection, which includes the impressive valley-view Rimrock Resort, the famed Fairmont Banff Springs and the commanding Chateau Lake Louise.

While camping is the accommodation of choice here, the fully appointed Delta Lodge at Kananaskis offers the ultimate in mountain getaways. Over 300 guest rooms, multiple restaurants, a full-service spa and convenient access to golf and skiing make it a top-notch option.
The vibrant town of Canmore, situated on the eastern boundary of Banff National Park, has experienced significant growth over the years, resulting in a wealth of accommodations.
