The Grand Canadian Resort of the Rockies

We stayed here in the 1st week of August. A lot of resorts look better on their website than they do in reality. This resort actually looks better in reality than it does on the website...except for the pool (which is a little small) but you can tell on the website that the pool is not big. The resort is 4 years old and is really superb. it is very spacious and in a nice quiet area of Canmore. We've stayed at several places in Banff including the Banff Springs Hotel and Chateau Lake Louise, also at Kananaskis. For families this is as good and in some ways better than any of the previous 3.

Grand Canadian, Canmore, is a 5 minute drive to the Banff Park gate or a 20 kilometer bicycle ride into Banff itself on a dedicate bicycle path. The rooms are spacious and large; everything is clean and the beds are comfortable. Grand Canadian Resort is in a beautiful setting in the Canadian Rockies surrounded by towering peaks.
