The Prestige Rocky Mountain Resort
The Prestige Rocky Mountain Resort & Convention Centre is conveniently located adjacent to the Museum for your visit.
This 4 1/2 star hotel offers superb accommodation and services for your
visit and is located adjacent to the Museum.
The Museum is just a short 5-minute walk through "Van Horne Park", which is an 1998 Railway Centennial Legacy Project of the City.
The
hotel opened in 1999 as a major "anchor" on one end of the
Railway Museum Development Zone of the City of Cranbrook. The length
of this "Zone" of land is about 1/2 mile (1 km) between the
highway and the railway and adjacent to the downtown area.
It
is a "railway-theme" design with substantial railway art,
posters, and rooms named after historical railway people.
It
has large convention facilities and is located next to the active tracks
of the Canadian Pacific Railway, but special acoustic design protects
guests from any railway sounds. In fact, many people book rooms on the
2nd and 3rd floors to see the railway activities. It is also designed
for rail excursion trains to come in to the back with access directly to the
lobby.
Full
facilities include dining, lounge, coffee shop, shopping, spa and other
amenities.
Railcar "Naughton"
This old formerly derelict car, which is being rebuilt to modern standards, contains two luxurious rooms for guests at the hotel. Expected completion late 2006
The Prestige is building a second hotel at this time, (2004-2005) in Cranbrook which is to be a Best Western.
