“Will never stay in another hotel while in Canmore!”

The very best from start to finish, everything was five star plus.

“Excellent luxury for the price”

We were very pleasantly surprised at ths beautiful 2 bedroom luxury condo. It had a huge balcony, modern decor and a awesome kitchen that had mostly Henkel cookware and even a dishwasher. There were 3 flat screen TVs, 3 fireplaces and 2 full sized bathrooms. The front desk staff were very friendly and accomodating and recommeded some excellent restaurants. - you must go to Tapas for dinner and Chez Francoise at the Econolodge for breakfast. We had a stress free relaxing visit will be certain to go back again and again!!!

“Nice Hotel - OK Service”

We have stayed in a number of high end hotels around the world and would put the finishings and amenities of Solara's rooms close to the top of the list. Nice hotel, good location, and very nice rooms. It took close to an hour to get a corkscrew but other than that we enjoyed our stay.

“Awesome setting ......beautiful room”

Beautiful rooms Well set up for family meals Friendly staff Awesome view Reasonable rates

“Can't wait till we go back next summer!!”

Solara Resort and Spa was everything we expected and more. The luxurous condos had everything you could ever need. There was a separate room for everything just like at home. The fireplaces in the living room and bedroom added to the ambience of the condo and helped with relaxation. The gourmet kitchen made preparing our favourite meals a breeze. The spa-inspired shower was definitely one of the highlights of the condos. There were nozzles from almost every direction so you could control everything. If you didn't end up clean from that shower, you were using it wrong! Canmore was definitely the right choice for us compared to Banff. The serenity and peacefulness of the town, really helped to re-charge. There was always enough parking and if you wanted to do something, you could, unlike our experience : "trying" to go to Banff.

“Excellent”

One of the nicest places we have ever stayed. Good location, and the rooms (we had a 2 bedroom suite) were amazing.

“Did not advertise that construction was not complete.”

We were disappointed to find that the swimming pools, hot tub, etc. were not available as they were still under construction; and this was not advertised or revealed. The advertisements indicated that there was televisions in each bedroom; this is not true. There is only a television in the childrens (or second bedroom). This television is equipped with a DVD player for movies, but the primary television in the living area is not. Light fixtures are sparse in some areas; the bedrooms and bathrooms are quite dark. Despite these shortcomings, the rooms are very clean (complex is new), roomy, attractively finished and well appointed. Suite was equipped with washer and dryer, wine fridge, a very large refrigerator/freezer, range, dishwasher, and dishes. The suite was very quiet althought the hotel was not overly busy. Overall, a very enjoyable place to stay. Very comfortable.

“Solara resort - relaxation and views. OMG, the views”

We arrived at the hotel in the wee small hours, so didn't know what was around. First thing in the morning, looked out the window at the Candian Rockies. I could get used to that view. The hotel was clean and way comfortable. A two bedroom suite, one with en-suite, and a huge living space including a kitchenette and even a wine fridge. Also a washer and dryer. The resort was still under construction when we stayed, so many of the facilities weren't open but that wasn't a problem as we picked based on location to Banff (20 minutes drive) and the national park (a day trip to the Glacier). There are restaurants and take aways close by, as well as a supermarket if you want to self-cater. Only issue was the previous guests leaving stuff in the dryer - and that was quickly sorted out.

“not the best”

room not ready yet, wait a month then go!

“good location - about 20 min from Banff”

Nice condo with complete kitchen. Unfortunately when we tried to cook in the oven it was greasy & black smoke poured out. Otherwise very clean & well furnished. We didn't have time for the spa but would like to go back sometime & try out the facilities. Close to Banff & Lake Louise.
