Solara Resort Canmore: The Complete Guide
Canmore's biggest full-amenity resort — waterslide, saltwater pool, spa, and oversized suites minutes from Main Street.
Location
Bow Valley Trail at the north edge of downtown, a short 10-minute walk to Main Street and directly on the local shuttle route. The property sits back from the highway with mountain views on three sides.
The waterslide is the whole point
Solara's indoor saltwater pool, waterslide, and hot tub complex is the single best kids-and-après amenity in the valley. If you're travelling with children between 4 and 14, this is usually the deciding factor over every other Canmore hotel.
Suites
Studios up to three-bedroom suites, all with full kitchens, gas fireplaces, in-suite laundry, and mountain-view balconies. Suites are larger than most Canmore properties.
Amenities
Saltwater pool with waterslide, two large hot tubs, steam room, fitness centre, on-site spa (Elevated Spa), restaurant, and 24-hour front desk. Underground heated parking included.
