Motels In Canmore, Alberta

The definition of a Mountain town, that's what Canmore, Alberta, is to residents and visitors. The city is nestled in the Canadian Rockies. A five-minute drive farther west will put you in Banff National Park, home to one of Canada's finest ski resorts. Canmore experienced tremendous growth and popularity after the 1988 Winter Olympics when it hosted the Nordic events. The beauty of the area helped the city bloom from a mere 3,200 people at the time of the Olympics to it's 2009 population of 16,000.

Blackstone Mountain Lodge

One thing Albertans do well is combining luxurious accommodations with their tremendous outdoors. Blackstone Mountain Lodge offers one- to three-bedroom suites of up to 1300 square feet. The outdoor pool and hot tubs look out to the stunning Rocky Mountains landscape. All rooms have balconies and fireplaces. Full kitchens, breakfast bars and flat-screen TVs with DVD players make staying in your room an attractive option. However, most people who choose Canmore are here for the outdoor experience. Convenient in-room storage makes it easy to stow your skis, snowboards and other mountain gear.
