Alberta Where to Stay
• A WorldWeb.com Travel Guide to Where to Stay in Alberta, Canada.
Accommodation in Alberta
From hotels to bed and breakfasts to teepees, the robust province of Alberta offers every type of accommodation under the sun (and big, blue Albertan sky). Diversity is key in this part of Canada: the adventurous can contemplate the stars shining over a backcountry lodge; families can pitch a tent in a scenic campground; cowboy wannabes can climb in the saddle at a guest ranch; the pampered can recline at a luxurious spa retreat; and those on a shoestring have plenty of hostels and affordable hotels to choose from. Let's start from the top:
NORTHERN ALBERTA
An isolated and vast terrain, northern Alberta attracts outdoor adventurers and nature lovers with fishing, canoeing and snowmobiling being some of the region's most popular excursions. The starkly beautiful landscape is punctuated by lakes and rivers and is home to a variety of hardy wildlife. In a place of such pristine wilderness it's no surprise that camping is a favourite pastime of visitors to northern Alberta. Organized campgrounds are found everywhere, many of which are even open year round. For fishing fanatics, remote fly-in lodges are popularly accessed from Fort McMurray, and cabins are quite common throughout the region.
Genuine western hospitality awaits visitors to Alberta's Heartland—the heart and soul of the province's cowboy culture. Its rolling prairies and shimmering lakes are ideal settings for guest ranches, cabins and campgrounds. Although hotels and motels are abundant, especially in main centres like Red Deer, Camrose and Rocky Mountain House, guest ranches such as Ride the Wind Ranch provide visitors with the best taste of the heartland's traditional country lifestyle—from ranch chores to horseback riding to western cuisine. Local hospitality can also be enjoyed at bed and breakfasts found mostly in Red Deer and Rocky Mountain House.
