Basecamp Resorts offer a variety of rooms, from a five to six-bedroom suite that can sleep up to 16 people to the micro-suite, which is the perfect size for two.
Don’t forget to check out the rooftop hot tub under the stars, as you’ll enjoy a marvellous view of the Three Sisters and other iconic mountain ranges in the area! The views alone make this one of the best resorts in Alberta.

Fairmont Hotels and Resorts
Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise
What: The world-class accommodations you can experience at a Fairmont Hotel are truly hard to beat! Luckily for us, we have three of these stunning resorts here in Alberta.
Each boasts its own personality and reflection of the landscape around Calit while giving you that comfort and convenience that you can rely on at a Fairmont Resort.
The Chateau Lake Louise has been a base for alpinists for over 100 years. It overlooks the lake and offers a ton of outdoor activities in its backyard, along with the amenities of a year-round luxury mountain resort.
The Banff Springs is the closest thing we have to a castle that overlooks the Banff Townsite. Home to the Banff Hot springs and Willow Spring Spa, this is the perfect retreat to enjoy some time outside to bask in the beauty of the mountains – we can guarantee there are no rooms lacking an unreal view.
The Jasper Park Lodge is situated in the heart of Jasper National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and wraps around the shores of lake “Lac Beauvert.” Here you can enjoy 700 acres of year-round adventures all while exploring the charming town of Jasper, as you can use this all-Canadian lodge as your base camp!
Rimrock Resort Hotel

Azuridge Estate Hotel
What: Nestled right into the rolling foothills, you’ll find this stylish estate surrounded by 13 acres of gorgeous greenery.
Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed by the incredible architecture and promptly whisked away to your room, where you’ll enjoy luxurious amenities, comforting extras, and captivating views.
When it comes to dining, you have two choices. Dine alfresco in the gazebo if the weather permits, or indoors in the magnificent and luxurious Opal Dining Room. Here you can sit back and enjoy breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner with unique meals catered to your needs – you’ll even get a butler! Ooh, la la!
Where: 178057 272 Street W Foothills, Priddis
Sundance Lodges
What: This resort is not your typical hotel accommodations or your usual camping experience. A family-run resort since 1992, Sundance Lodges began as one single tipi. Today, the property is filled with many tipis and trapper tents that shed a whole new light on “comfortable camping.”
This is an easier and more affordable way for you and your family to enjoy the perks of camping without the hassle of having to set up a tent, paying for an expensive hotel room, or dragging around a camper.
Where: #2 Sundance Road, Kananaskis
