Steeped in tradition, this original resort and casino is an
impressive turn-of-the-century stone building. The resort is the
only project in Canada where a First Nation decided to turn an icon
of an often sad period of its history into a powerful economic
engine by converting an old Indian residential school into an
international resort destination. It offers 125 rooms, including 49
single rooms, 73 double/twin rooms, 1 junior suite and 2 suites.
Air conditioning, a lobby, 24-hour reception and check-out, a hotel
safe, lift access, a pub and a number of restaurants are provided.
372 m² of meeting space and the 1767 m²
Casino of the Rockies also feature. Room service is available for a
fee, and free unlimited parking is available to guests arriving by
car. A complimentary airport shuttle service is provided. There is
also a shuttle service offering frequent daily trips from the
Casino of the Rockies to Cranbrook (complimentary).
