You are always nervious trying out a new property for the first time, but found Mountain Parks Lodge's Chateau Jasper to be no risk at all. Very friendly front-desk service, convenient underground parking, tasty daily specials in the Silverwater Grill, immaculate big rooms, and great pool and jacuzzi.

It was only a quick stroll to the Jasper downtown core, and we saw an Elk one evening on one of the sidestreets coming back to the Chateau. The fitness center is quite limited, but who cares because there is a beautiful national park surrounding the place with countless activities outside (downhill and nordic skiing, skating, snowshoeing, tours, etc).

The lounge is really cool, trendy, and quiet - great place to grab a drink after skiing and curl up in one of the big chairs with the newspaper or an Anne Rice novel.

Great wireless in the room. and loved the modd waterfalls in the Grill.

Will absolutely try the other Mointain Park Lodges in Jasper - stay tuned.

Chateau jasper is spread out over a good area, beautiful in January but breath taking in the summer, with plenty of wildlife. visited, Jan 2011 and june 2007

The Chateau was a gorgeous hotel, with classic fittings and decor. Staff were so friendly - especially in the restaurant. Breakfast was amazing and good value for money and they made sure we got quick service in order to catch our bus tour as well. The location is great - totally a lovely walk into town and views to the Rocky Mountains. Clean room and public areas all really clean and light. Rooms a great size. It felt like a home away from home.

Chateau Jasper is exactly as advertised. Walking distance to downtown. Very comfortable and quiet. Will definitely stay there again.
