Rooms to breathe.
The Bow Lake Experience
You’ve had a long, beautiful afternoon of hiking. Your lungs are full of fresh, mountain air and you haven’t so much as looked at your phone in days. You come back to The Lodge to find your fellow guests gathering in Jimmy’s living room. You sink into an armchair, order a pisco sour cocktail and share in the retelling of adventures.
Make the Canadian Rockies your destination this season. Stay close to the extraordinary and book your well-deserved stay on the shores of Bow Lake in the heart of Banff National Park.
What to know before you book
Our summer/fall season runs from May 29th to October 9, 2026.

For summer and fall 2026, a limited number of single-night stays are available in select openings between longer reservations.
