Possibly our favourite hotel in all of Canada, The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge is a really special place. You’re outside of Jasper Town here, in a secluded spot - the hotel is set around the lake with many of the rooms located in the cabins that dot the shore. The J=junior suite lake view rooms are the best for incredible views over your morning coffee. Often there are deer wandering around the property and elk or even moose can be spotted nearby if you're lucky. You have all the bells and whistles you’d expect of a Fairmont hotel – there’s a great spa, outdoor pool, top restaurant and lovely lounge bar, all with great lake views. On her Canadian tour in 1939, the Queen visited Jasper and guess where she stayed? Exactly – you can’t get a higher accolade than that we think.

All rooms have a fridge, bathroom with bath/shower and WC, hairdyer, satellite TV, telephone and safe (available from front desk), tea/coffee making facilities and iron/ironing board.Fairmont room - sleeps 2: Located in the main building or in a cabin on the second, third or fourth row from the lake.
