You made it.

Rich history.
Commanding views.
Restful spaces.

To visit The Lodge is to temporarily suspend time. There are no obligations or expectations. No emails, phone calls or notifications. There is only wide, vast, wondrous nature — the hush of snow-dusted mountains and the impossibly peaceful surface of Bow Lake. 

The home base for your national park and Rocky Mountain adventures, The Lodge itself is a historical wonder. From the distinct red roof to newly updated interiors, its thoughtful touches and restful spaces wick away the stresses of everyday life.

Can't get away for two nights? Why not join us for one?

To maximize your complete experience of relaxation at The Lodge, we have a minimum two-night stay policy; however, each year on April 1st, we open up single-night stays for the Summer/Fall season. These are limited, so please check our booking calendar for availability.

Nestled on the shore of breathtaking Bow Lake, the iconic red roof of The Lodge has punctuated Alberta’s world-class natural scenery since 1922.

Today, a group of new owners committed to the preservation of the property’s history and the surrounding environment have come together to refurbish the recognizable structure to its former glory, with attention to modern sustainability practises and deep respect for the history of the land itself.

Here's what a few of our guests are saying about their stay at The Lodge at Bow Lake:

  • "Phenomenal stop. We stayed three nights and were fed exquisitely. They had packed lunches options in addition to a breakfast and excellent dinner. The room was immaculate and the staff were unbelievably friendly and welcoming. Sarah, Nico, Bruce, Nicola, and Mike went above and beyond with help at the lodge but also getting us tickets for Lakes Moraine and Louise with Fairview limousines. Everything was outstanding."

    - Kim

  • "This was by far the best part of our entire trip to Banff. Being on the lake is great as mornings/evenings there was hardly anyone there. The lodge has been completely updated with amazing views of the lake and mountains. The staff was incredible and the food was so good. Your stay includes three meals each day (lunch is packed for you to take with you) along with tea/snacks in the afternoon making it so easy when planning your day. The location is super central to anything you are looking to do as well. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a place to stay on their next trip."
