The room was picture perfect, exactly like the photos with beautiful decorating and everything you could need. We had a stunning view of the glaciers and all the furniture was so comfortable. The location is quite literally unbeatable by about 100 miles - there is nothing else in the vicinity! You'd have to drive over an hour in either direction to reach something else. The hotel also had the tastiest water I've ever drank due to the glaciers, and an amazing tea selection.

Too many things to mention. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful allowing us to do an early check-in because we arrived earlier than expected. So a shout out to him for all his help. The location of the hotel is on the top floor of the Glacier tour Centre, living at the edge of the glacier provides a breath-taking view especially sitting in the lounge. The welcome reception was a heart warming surprise. The room was very spacious and clean, the loft gave a bit of privacy. The bathroom was also spacious and well designed and maintained. I'd definitely stay here again next time I visit Banff/Jasper.

Ying United States of America

Amazing location with our room window facing the glaciers. Very clean and spacious rooms. Friendly staff. Free drinks and charcuterie boards to welcome the guests. Free coffee and tea in the lobby. Beautiful view from the lobby. Two restaurants on the lower floor. Convenient parking.

Pretty comfortable. The room and bathrrom was big enough. Spectacular views to the glacier. They serve complementary delicatessen and cheese boards in the common area for the guests. There is only one restaurant in the hotel (and in the surroundings) and it is pretty good considering you are in the middle of nowhere.
