Canmore Accommodation Choices
Canmore is a small town completely surrounded by mountains. Located just west of Calgary and east of Banff National Park, Canmore is situated in Alberta's Bow Valley in the northwest corner of Kananaskis Country. The town is all about location. It is the optimum base camp for those looking to explore and discover the Canadian Rockies and a multitude of provincial and wild-land parks. Canmore does not have its own airport but is approximately an hour and a half drive from the Calgary International Airport. Calgary offers many transportation options for visitors wanting to get to Canmore such as car rentals and bus services like Greyhound. Whether travel plans consist of short country forays and scenic drives or longer day trips that include sightseeing or venturing off the beaten path, Canmore has suitable accommodations for all budgets and itineraries. No matter where travellers choose to stay, they will be close to the town's amenities, attractions and sightseeing opportunities.
TYPES OF ACCOMMODATIONS
Aside from the many hotels Canmore has to offer, vistors looking for something different have other options such as bed and breakfasts, resorts, cabins and campgrounds.
Bed & Breakfasts
Bed and breakfasts are a great way to spend time in Canmore due to their more intimate nature and the cozy at home feeling they evoke. There are many to choose from with varying rates and locations. Some such as Creekside Country and the Bear and Bison are located away from the sounds of the highway whereas others, like the Lady Macdonald, are located near the highway for those wanting quick travel convenience to Banff or Calgary. All are good choices and feature amenities such as in-room fireplaces and Jacuzzi tubs, gourmet homemade breakfasts and spectacular views. A bonus to choosing to stay in a bed and breakfast is the opportunity it provides for meeting other travellers and locals who are willing to share information and travel tips.
Resorts
Canmore resorts are ideal for those looking for self-contained vacations in the mountains. This type of accommodation is similar to hotels but Canmore resorts are better suited for vacationers rather than those just looking for a place to spend the night. Many of the resorts offer amenities such as onsite swimming pools, massage services, and activities like tennis and golfing. Resorts are suitable for business travellers who need to use computers and internet services as well as meeting rooms. Families will also find resorts such as Mystic Springs appropriate, especially if they don't plan to travel around too much, as all their vacation needs can be taken care of in one place.
Cabins
Cabins are a good way to go if privacy is desired. Quiet and solitude can be found by choosing to stay at a cabin. Someone travelling alone who is looking to get away from a hectic lifestyle may relish the alone time provided by cabins but they can also be ideal for a small family looking for some quiet time together. Canmore has a selection of cabins that have fully equipped kitchens, full bathrooms and colour televisions, such as those at Spring Creek RV Campground. Cabin locations vary from being centrally located and near town amenities to being in more isolated areas.
Campgrounds
Another alternative to consider is staying at one of Canmore's campgrounds. If travelling on a budget, camping can be a cost effective option. Campgrounds provide travellers with complete independence as well as amenities such as play areas for children, laundry facilities, bike trails and gift shops. For those looking for flexibility in their travels, campgrounds are a good choice. Visitors can stay for a night and move on the next day or stay for an extended amount of time and enjoy all that Canmore has to offer. Some campgrounds, such as Sundance Lodges, offer guests the chance to stay in an authentic tipi.
