Deer Lodge

Rustic mountain lodging awaits you at this historic lodge in Banff National Park. With much of its original hand-hewn log structure and decor still in place, Deer Lodge is the classic definition of rustic mountain accommodations. Located just minutes by foot from the enchanting Lake Louise, Deer Lodge is a testament to a bygone era and retains much of its original hand-hewn log structure and decor. Built in 1923 as a teahouse, the lodge officially opened as a hotel in 1925. Deer Lodge was completely renovated, restored, and winterized in 1985. It is beloved by international and local guests for its unique rustic mountain accommodation. They invite you to sample their Rocky Mountain Cuisine – a style influenced by hearty meals made by European mountain guides artfully presented and professionally served. Rocky Mountain Cuisine is best as an artful assemblage of Canadian ingredients such as bison and elk raised on CRM Ranch, sustainable seafood, prairie-grown grains, and locally sourced vegetables. They have an extensive wine list featuring award-winning Canadian wines from central B.C. and Ontario’s Niagara Peninsula. Looking for a quiet retreat with dazzling views, delicious cuisine, and attentive staff? Deer Lodge has it all.
