Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge

Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge is one of those places that feels more like a little lakeside village than a hotel. It sits on the edge of Lac Beauvert, surrounded by forest and mountains, and the setting is easily one of the best in the Rockies. The whole place has a relaxed, outdoorsy feel, with cabins and low rise buildings spread out around the lake, so you’re never far from the water or a quiet walking trail.

Rooms and cabins are comfortable and straightforward, with plenty of space and that classic lodge style that fits Jasper well. What really stands out, though, is how easy it is to get outside here. You can stroll along the lakeshore, watch wildlife wander past, or sit out with a drink as the light changes over the mountains.

There’s a good choice of restaurants on site, along with a pool and spa, but the real highlight is the setting itself. It works just as well for slow mornings by the water as it does for full days out in the national park.

Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge is a great fit for travellers who want space, scenery and that classic Rocky Mountain lodge experience. It’s simple, comfortable and all about the surroundings, which is exactly what makes it so special.
