Hotels & Motels in Waterton Lakes
Alberta's Highway 5 South meanders through flat farmlands and humble, wind-whipped grasslands before leading to Waterton, a hamlet enveloped by on-looking mountains as part of Waterton Lakes National Park. Hundreds of thousands of guests visit each year to experience the rugged mountainscape here that has been protected by strong development laws maintaining Waterton's small size. However, holiday goers will still find every amenity and service needed for comfort within the town site, including a variety of unique accommodations, particularly hotel and motel properties as well as various restaurants and shops.
This outdoor paradise has plenty to offer visitors looking to experience the beauty and tranquility found within the park. The backcountry can be explored from cross country ski and snowshoe trails in the winter or hiking, horse-riding and cycling trails in the summer. During the warmer months, the lake also provides plenty of opportunities for water sports such as canoeing, kayaking, wind surfing and fishing. In contrast to Waterton's wild landscape, the Waterton Lakes Golf Course provides a well-manicured setting. This Stanley Thompson original course is just minutes from town.
BUDGET FRIENDLY
Visitors to Waterton travelling on a budget can choose to stay in one of the area's backcountry or serviced campgrounds, a hostel or affordable motel. Ideally located on Mount View Road across from Emerald Bay, the Bear Mountain Motel is one of Waterton's most budget-friendly accommodations. The 1960s styled motel is open from May to early October each year and offers free Wi-Fi and one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom units.
MID-RANGE LODGINGS
Offering a wide range of room styles and suites, the town’s more moderately priced hotels offer visitors more choice in services and amenities and are situated in the town's centre. Guests will find amenities such as gas fireplaces, kitchenettes, full kitchens and multi-room suites at accommodations such as the Aspen Village Inn and the Crandell Mountain Lodge, which has been in business since 1940. A great choice for groups, the Waterton Lakes Resort features a full fitness gym, swimming pool and recreation centre as well as event space and the popular Vimy's Ridge Lounge and Grill.
LUXURY ACCOMMODATIONS
Holiday goers looking for an up-scale alternative can also choose to stay in one of the area's luxury accommodations. Guests of the Bayshore Inn can unwind with a little pampering at the Serenity Spa, located on site, or while enjoying the stunning view from the balcony found in each room. Hotel guests in need of sustenance can choose from the elegant surroundings of the chophouse or the more family-oriented atmosphere in the bistro. The hotel also provides a choice of nightlife with a wine bar and saloon. Bayshore's sister property, the Waterton Glacier Suites is an all-suite hotel, each with its own Jacuzzi tub and private balcony. Set on a bluff at the north end of town, the Prince of Wales Hotel (open in the summer only) overlooks the Waterton Lakes. Built in 1927, the hotel is a designated National Historic Site of Canada and offers guests a decidedly British flair.
SPECIAL & PACKAGES
Most accommodations within Waterton offer one or more seasonal or couples packages to guests. These packages may include a discounted stay, additional nights free and meals such as full breakfast, boxed lunches or dinner as well as activities like golf, hiking, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.
