Where to Stay: A Guide to Accommodations in Jasper (for 2023)

Compiled by the Road Trip Alberta team

Last updated on January 15, 2023

For us, staying in Jasper is always a magical experience. The slower pace, crisp mountain air, abundant wildlife, and towering Rocky Mountains always remind us that we are in an extraordinary place. Family vacations to Jasper happened at least once a year as kids, and those trips have also inspired many returns in adulthood.

There are plenty of options for accommodations and Jasper hotels in the surrounding area, and we’ve certainly stayed at a few ourselves. Throughout the years, we’ve altered between staying a few days in a hotel, finding a quaint and charming bed and breakfast, or, if we were feeling more adventurous, sourcing a camping spot for a tent.

Regardless of wherever we stayed in Jasper National Park, after a full day of adventure, it was essential to have a place to rest our tired beings and get a good sleep.

Below you’ll find a variety of accommodations, sorted by our top picks and also by budget. In our numerous trips to Jasper over the past years, we’ve stayed at many of the places within. If not, we have also relied on the suggestions and recommendations from colleagues to ensure that this guide offers a good variety of options.

Note that high season is from May thru September, and rooms should be booked well in advance as hotels sell out of rooms. It should be noted that most of the hotels suggested are located within a few minutes of downtown Jasper and have ample free parking and free wi-fi. But there are a few special locations outside of town worth considering a stay at if you’re looking for a more remote experience.

The Best Accommodations in Jasper

Our Top Picks

Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge (Luxury)

It’s hard to describe how truly beautiful this place is. It is one of the most popular accommodations in Jasper, and for a good reason. On the shores of Beauvert Lake in the Canadian Rockies, you’ll find the single most luxurious resort in Jasper. Featuring an award-winning golf course, heavenly restaurants, and a vast spa area (nearly a whole square kilometre of blissful indulgence), this is an exquisitely designed hotel.

If you want to splurge, be sure to book a suite featuring incredible views of the lake and mountains, which will provide the quintessential Canadian atmosphere. During the summer, you can relax in the outdoor pool, hike in the area, or even go horseback riding. For winter, the Marmot Basin ski area is just 30 km away. A small tip to lower the cost: Take the “no housekeeping service” option at check-in to save on your stay and help save the environment!
