As far as brand philosophies go, Bellstar's mantra is as simple as they come. Yet, for one of the fastest growing hotel and resort development companies in Western Canada, one word is all that's needed. When it comes to Bellstar's properties in Canmore, Golden, and the South Okanagan, all guests want to do is ... stay.
"Each one of our properties offers its own unique experience," said Ange Chew, Bellstar's director of marketing. "From our value lodges to luxury resorts and spas, each place is about what's right for our guests in that specific destination. Each property has its own style, its own personality. Every stay with Bellstar is different. But they're all memorable."
Bellstar's condo-style hotels are truly your home away from home. With full kitchens, spacious bedrooms, full-service bathrooms, your family can feel at home during their stay in the Canadian Rockies, Okanagan Wine Country or a ski holiday in the mountains. If you're looking for a vacation where you have a choice to go out and eat at a restaurant or stay in your suite and cook, a Bellstar resort is perfect for you.
Exceptional experiences in unique destinations
"Our suites range from one to three bedroom units, and they're perfect for multi-generational families or friends. Everyone has their own space, so you don't feel cramped. You can stay in very comfortably or if you want to go out, you have all the amenities you need."
But it's the genuine commitment to service that separates Bellstar from the rest of the pack. Renowned for their customer service, especially for a condo-hotel concept, Bellstar puts performance first.

"Bellstar is all about providing exceptional experiences in unique destinations, and a big part of that is how we treat our guests. We make sure we do what we can to ensure a stay that they'll remember for a long time."
One of these unique destinations is Golden, BC, and Bellstar has two properties at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort. When it comes to an on-hill ski vacation, it doesn't get much better than a stay at the Glacier Mountaineer Lodge. Just steps away from the Golden Eagle Eye Express Gondola, and the centerpiece of the resort village, Glacier Mountaineer Lodge offers breathtaking views of both Kicking Horse and the Canadian Rocky Mountains that surround it.
For a stay that's slightly more removed from the hill, Palliser Lodge offers visitors a deluxe condo experience that's just a five minute walk from the hill. These one- and two-bedroom condos feature full kitchens, fireplaces, satellite TV, and hot tubs ... and this is just the start of your Kicking Horse experience.
Great packages
Also, If you are looking for a truly indulgent stay, try one of Bellstar's townhomes with private hot tub in the Aspens.
"And if you're in the market for a great Canadian Rockies Experience, our properties in Canmore make for a great home base."
With six accommodations in Canmore, including the incredible Solara Resort & Spa and Blackstone Mountain Lodge, Bellstar has something for almost any budget.
Unbelievable atmosphere, exceptional location, top of the line customer service, and Green Key-rated sustainable operations. All you have to do is stay.
