For us, staying in Jasper is always a magical experience. The slower pace, crisp mountain air, abundant wildlife, and towering Rocky Mountains always reminds us that we are in a very special place. Family vacations to Jasper happened at least once a year as kids and those trips have inspired many returns in adulthood as well.
There are plenty of options for accommodations in Jasper and the surrounding area so we’ve tried a variety. 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, and if not, we have also relied on the suggestions and recommendations from colleagues to ensure that this guide is offering a good variety of options.
It should be noted that most of the hotels in Jasper are located within the town’s centre, but there are a few special locations outside of town worth considering a stay at as well.

During the summer, you can relax in the swimming pool, hike in the area, or even go horseback riding. For winter, the Marmot Basin ski area is just 30kms 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!
