My husband and I recently celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary at the Post. My husband was first dazzled by the Post when he celebrated his 18th birthday dinner there close to 20 years ago. He vowed to take me there one day and it was worth the wait as it met all expectations. The setting is gorgeous and service is top notch. We loved that it honoured old world charm rather than the modern monstrosities of today. The cozy room with working fireplace (prepped nightly by staff) and to-die-for linens made it the perfect place for our romantic getaway sans kids. The food and wine was extraordinary and we felt was largely wasted on the kids wandering about. We loved our time and will be happy to share it with our kids on their 18th birthdays!

I stayed at Post with my wife for 6 nights early February 2013 for skiing, and our experience was superb. We've got a room at the preferred side, which was very quiet; we never heard the train noise. The room was spacious, clean, with comfortable beds. The bathroom is great, with probably the best shower we've seen in any hotel. Breakfast is very good, but pricy. By the way, I bought a package including breakfast and ski pass, which was a good deal. The dinner at the main restaurant is outstanding, but prepare your pocket for something around $80 -100 per person. Other upsides are the free wifi and parking, as well as the tea with pies or cakes that await your return from skiing. The indoor pool, steam room and fitness room are wonderful. The whole place is extremely charming, with a qualm and quiet atmosphere. They also offer a complimentary shuttle to the mountain, which is 5 minutes drive away. As downsides, I would mention the parking that is not underground and the overall costs to stay there.

I go to the Post Hotel once a year, and love the staff, service and this hotel.
Sure the train is loud but you are in the Rockies and the railway system is part of the history.
We have a Condo in Canmore and guess what- the trains are loud there as well.
The railway station (now a restaurant) is within walking distance and the drive to Moraine lake is awesome.

We had been RV camping and decide on the Post for a nice meal out. We were not in our Sunday go to meeting clothes but we were in no worse turn out than any of the other diners. The Maitre d' was stuffy, pretentious and unwelcoming. The waitress was stiff but attentive if not well informed about the food she was serving. The menu is extensive and although not imaginative presented itself as first class. The food was disappointingly ordinary. Seasonal vegetables were a mound of over cooked yellow beans with bacon. The roasted potatoes were dry and appeared to have been kept in a warming pan too long. My husbands buffalo was fine but my fillet did not have the reduction the menu said it came with. The wine list is excellent. My coffe was luke warm but the waitress kindly made me a fresh pot. At $250.00 the bill was ridiculous. At that price I don't want to afford a second chance.
