We were warmly welcomed late in the evening and given an explanation of the property and the different facilties available and were shown how to get to the underground parking and to our suite. The suite was nothing short of amazing. Top... More

From the moment i set foot in Solara Resort and Spa it is clear to see that they set themselves apart from other resorts with impeccable decor and design. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful to our needs. Our room was a 2 bedroom premium suite and exceeded my expectations in both cleanliness and comfort. The kitchen... More

Thank you for your review of Solara Resort and Spa. It's true that the decor is unique and really stands out from other resorts. Apart from the decor, we're also the only resort in the area to offer a large theatre, indoor chicldren's splash park and the brand new 8,000 square foot One Wellness and Spa. Keep in touch with...

We have spent 5 days at Solara. The room, which in our case included a kitchen and two bathrooms, was very well equipped. The hotel provides free high-speed wireless internet that worked quite well. The elevators are sloooow. We ended up walking the stairs. The staff was new and confused, although pleasant to talk to. We had difficulties finding our... More

Thank you for your review of our Resort. We take great pride in our resort. At first it may seem challenging to navigate through as it is a rather large resort but it doesn't take too much time before our guests feel right at home. All amenities including our hot tub, splash park, theatre, ballroom, spa and fitness facilities are... More

nice european appliances and spacious suites with nice (looking) but very uncomforable sofa and chairs. Worst bed pillows ever! Filthy hallways (stained & dirty) with flickering lights and constant stream of dust bunnies blowing in under the door of suite. Very strange layout to complex with bizarre arrangement of (very limited and sub-par) facilities; takes forever to walk to theater,... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at Solara Resort in Canmore back in December for 1 night. My first impression was of the Front Office when I checked in. The decor and set up of the Front Office is professional and welcoming. I was instantly greeted by the Front Desk Agent who welcomed me to the hotel with a smile. Check... More

Our 3 day stay at the Solara was overshadowed by poor service, inappropriate comments by hotel staff and the kids pool/play area being shut down without any knowledge of it until after we arrived. While the suites are nice, they cost to stay is higher than what I would expect to pay for substandard service and leisure activities that are... More
