Rooms Designed for the Mountain Setting
Spacious rooms at Glacier View Lodge feature floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the Athabasca Glacier or the surrounding Canadian Rockies. Each room has a signature plush bed, a large TV, and a Nespresso coffee machine. A loft-style room is available with three queen beds and two Dyson heater/cooler units.

The hotel sits on the top floor of the Columbia Icefield Discovery Centre, directly on the renowned Icefields Parkway (Highway 93). It is a 1-hour drive from the town of Jasper and 20 miles from Hamber Provincial Park. Nearby natural attractions include Tangle Creek Falls and Sunwapta Lake.
On-Site Dining with Canadian Cuisine
The Altitude Restaurant serves Canadian cuisine developed by the hotel's Executive Chef, with dishes like Arctic char and lamb. A second dining option, the Chalet, is a cafeteria serving salads, hamburgers, and wraps. Starbucks is also available on site for consistent coffee and food.
Guest Services & Parking
Glacier View Lodge offers convenient upper-level parking for guests, separate from the visitor center lots.
