historical traveler's collection rooms

Rooms 4, 5, 6

To capture the Canadian History and Canmore’s Heritage, Fiona & Lonny have traveled the length and breadth of Alberta to find interesting Canadian furniture to add warmth to these beautifully rich rooms.

Hand-crafted four poster beds are carved with Alberta’s wild roses, and the chiropractic mattresses, new goose down duvet and crisp white cotton linens will help you drift into the old fashioned Canadian style and comfort you thought had long since disappeared.

Pictures of Canmore’s mining heritage adorn the evergreen colored
walls in these rooms. As you sit by the fireplace or on your balcony
gazing at the majestic mountains you can try, if you are able, to
imagine old Canmore with so few facilities whilst soaking in the
luxurious amenities of your guest room.

A corner whirlpool bathtub and the close proximity of the lounge and
dining room make these rooms a true home from home experience.

Rooms 4 & 5 are wheelchair accessible.

Rooms 7, 8, 9

These beautifully decorated rooms reflect the healthy lifestyle of the
mountain loving Canadian. Glass patio doors let in sunshine and lead
out to your private patio to enjoy the garden and panoramic mountain
view.

These rooms adjoin the cedar laid changing room and outdoor Hot Spring Spa Therapeutic Hot tub with its 31 massage jets. With the close proximity of the Hot tub and your private in-room jacuzzi tub you have the perfect spot to enjoy true Canadian mountain living.

A hand carved four poster bed, a gas fireplace for romantic ambiance,
plus pictures and memorabilia of the energetic Canadian skiers,
hikers, climbers and cyclists help maintain the fresh healthy theme of
these rooms.

Room 7, as the pictures show, has everything: comfy sofa
to view the mountain from inside, outdoor patio, beautiful jacuzzi tub
set in slate tiles, ensuite shower room and the best positioning for
using the outdoor Hot Tub Spa.

Room 8 is similar to Room 7 with the exception that this room is the
only one at the Inn without the in-room jacuzzi tub, which gives a little more floor space. Instead of the tub there is an ensuite shower
room. If you are traveling with small children there is a sofa bed which can sleep two.

Bed Type one King size four poster bed (& sofa bed in room 8)
