Historic 3-star boutique country inn with personalized Victorian rooms in the Canadian Rockies

Rooms & Accommodations

Lady Macdonald Country Inn offers 13 individually decorated rooms, each with a distinct Victorian-era design and a full private bathroom. Rooms have cable TV, a fireplace, and most include hardwood floors, while select suites provide mountain views. The Mystic Loft room includes a loft with skylight blinds and a separate sleeping area, and the Temple room has a queen bed on the main floor plus two twin beds upstairs.

Dining & Breakfast

A homemade, cooked-to-order breakfast is served each morning in the inn's spacious solarium, with a rotating menu that includes items like eggs Benedict, pancakes, and smoothies. The breakfast offers choices at two scheduled times-8 a.m. and 9 a.m.-with self-serve coffee, tea, juice, and cereal available 24/7 in the dining room. Guests with dietary restrictions can request adjustments at check-in, and the inn provides gluten-free bread options.

Wellness & Spa

On-site amenities include a wood-fired sauna that requires a two-hour heat-up and must be booked at check-in, plus a rooftop hot tub with mountain views. The hotel offers spa/wellness packages and on-site massage services provided by experienced professionals, along with access to a local swimming pool via staff-provided towels. The inn also features a steam shower in the Heart Mountain room and a dry sauna available for guest use.

Location & Outdoor Activities

The inn is located less than 1 kilometer from the Silvertip Golf Course and less than 1.5 kilometers from Yamnuska Mountain Adventures, which offers guided hikes. Canmore's downtown is a 15-minute walk away, with proximity to Banff National Park for hiking and sightseeing. The property is also near the Canmore Ranch for wedding venues and has accessible parking for guests.

Pet & Family Policies

The inn is pet-friendly with specific pet fees, and the Mystic Loft room accommodates up to four guests with a loft and twin beds. Children are welcome, and the inn provides a crib on request, with board games and puzzles available in the common areas. The hotel has a no-shoes indoor policy that includes slippers for all guests, and earplugs are provided for light sleepers due to the building's older construction.
