A vacation property is a luxury for some very lucky people in Calgary; they get to take the opportunity to enjoy weekends away in one of any number of mountain destinations in the Rockies. For those of us who love to get away, but don’t have a personal weekend retreat, Solara Resort & Spa is the perfect solution.
Located just a short drive from Calgary in the town of Canmore, Solara is the Canadian Rockies’ premier all-suite destination resort with luxurious amenities and services designed to pamper you no matter what the occasion (or lack thereof). Solara Resort blends the best of a mountain getaway with the elegant details of a high-end urban hotel. So rather than being crammed in a typical hotel room, you get spacious suites making it more of a home away from home. Enjoy the luxury and service of a resort with the independence of your own vacation condo rental.
Offering a choice of spacious, fully-equipped 1, 2 and 3 bedroom suites with up to 1700 square feet of luxurious space, you can chill with friends on your own private balcony or terrace, soak in breathtaking mountain views, or enjoy a glass of vino beside your slate fireplace.
The living rooms are made for lounging with elegant leather furnishings, and flat screen televisions.
The full gourmet kitchen features granite countertops and an island with stools and high-end stainless steel appliances, and includes a wine fridge with bar sink to inspire you to pull out your inner chef.
Canmore also boasts some of the best dining in the Rockies with restaurants such as Murrietas and the Crazy Weed should you want an evening out.
Solara also has a full day spa allowing you to really de-stress and pamper yourself for the weekend. One Wellness is a full-service spa offering an array of choices. Choose from the spa services, fitness services, wellness coaching, physiotherapy, and nutritional guidance to help you find balance. The Spa services are definitely young professional approved and offer an incredible lemongrass mimosa body scrub.
One Wellness is also equipped with sauna, steam room, relaxation lounge, and fitness centre for you to enjoy.
Canmore is known as one of Canada’s leading health and wellness destinations and has an affinity for healthy living due to its natural beauty, its world-class terrain, and its four season amenities. So whether it is a full day at the spa or outdoor pursuits you are after, Solara is the place to ‘come home to’.
