The dramatic glacial waters of Kicking Horse River feed into the Yoho National Park, forging valleys in between craggy peaks and smooth mountains, tumbling over impressive waterfalls and through mirror-like alpine lakes. And the best hotels for Yoho National Park offer stunning views of all this and more.

Yoho National Park is the sibling of Banff National Park, which is just across the continental divide and province line in Alberta. And it’s similarly stunning, with pine forests, alpine meadows and snowy mountains - which in winter are extremely popular with ice climbers.

Tiny Field is the park’s main settlement, with a population of about 200, and some of the best hotels for Yoho National Park can be found here, tucked in between Kicking Horse Mountain and the Lake Louise ski fields. Winter also brings the cross country skiers and those who love backcountry ski touring.
