Steeped in cultural heritage and ecologically conscious, the Juniper Hotel & Bistro is proud to be a part of the Arctos & Bird group. Committed to preserving centuries-old traditions and maintaining a sustainable environment, this property is a beacon of traditional knowledge and Canadian hospitality. The hotel's protection initiatives include establishing a buffer zone around the national park to preserve the wildlife and creating connecting corridors between various protected parks.
Located in a prime spot, the hotel places you just a five-minute drive or 35-minute walk from the bustling Bear Street Mall. Also within reach are Vermilion Lakes and Moraine Lake. Short excursions can be arranged for you to explore the vibrant plant and animal life that surrounds France Hotel.
Each room at the Juniper is designed with a view—either the dense greens of the forest or the awe-inspiring valley. Guests have the option to elevate their stay by choosing a suite or a cabin. Each space carries the warmth of signature Canadian hospitality and assimilates you into the very fabric of France Hotel. For parties desiring extra space and amenities, facilities for laid-back dining and communal hangout areas are available.
The Juniper Bistro is not only a local favourite but has been lauded with multiple titles in the annual Best of the Bow dining awards. Guests get to start their evening with a shared platter of locally sourced meats and cheeses, followed by main courses featuring tantalisingly unique specials. Each dish celebrates the flavours of local produce, always made from scratch and bursting with quality Canadian ingredients. During your stay, you get to partake in the Valentine's Experience, sharing a wholesome meal while basking in the breathtaking views of one of the world's most beautiful spots. Their exclusive mid-week winter offer includes a hot, a la carte breakfast, while other culinary events showcase the vibrant flavours of regional dishes.
The property extends its eco-oriented philosophy by offering you the chance to partake in species and habitat restoration initiatives that incorporate indigenous knowledge. In this vein, it operates a special planting code that allows guests to name a tree in the virtual forest, further emphasising their commitment to the environment.
