Originally built in 1902 by the Canadian Pacific Railway, the lodge blends rich history with rustic charm. Its 85 guest rooms are spread across 24 chalet-style cabins, featuring cozy down duvets, wood-burning fireplaces, and private balconies or patios with sweeping views of the lake and forest.
Savour the flavours of the Rockies in the Mount Burgess dining room, where locally inspired dishes—like elk and bison—are paired with boutique wines. After a day of adventure, settle into our comfortable lounge for a casual bite, a local pint, or a glass of wine by the fire.
Enjoy a soak in the outdoor hot tub with a panoramic mountain backdrop, play a game of snooker, or catch up on the outside world via the main lodge’s big-screen TV. In the winter, the lodge is a base for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing; in summer, it’s all about canoeing the turquoise waters and exploring nearby hiking trails. Most activities are suitable for both first-timers and seasoned explorers.
Emerald Lake Lodge was named Best Hotel in Golden/Field/Yoho National Park by Avenue Magazine Calgary in 2023/24—and it’s easy to see why. Whether you're here for romance, adventure, or a much-needed reset, the quiet magic of Emerald Lake Lodge is unforgettable.
