Cochrane Rockyview Hotel

The Rockyview Hotel & Saloon revels in its Wild West past, and so will you when you visit the more than 100-year-old establishment on Cochrane’s main street. It’s hard to walk by without stopping by the striking grey and red building that looks like it could easily double as a Hollywood movie set. Completely renovated, with a modern saloon vibe, there’s no sign of the sawdust that once covered the floors back in the day when this was the go-to hitching post for cowboys and colourful characters. Step inside for a one-stop spot of down-home Alberta food in the Texas Gate Saloon or hear live music. Make a weekend of it and stay in one of the western-styled rooms. The Rockyview also has a series of escape rooms for those who like a spooky brain teaser. Word also has its resident ghosts that are lurking about, which the hotel regularly scares up at paranormal party events.
