Lamphouse Hotel
Hip mountain motel renovation — woody textures, Scandinavian modernism, low-key adventure-ready energy
Book the King Room with Mountain View specifically — standard rooms often overlook the parking lot
Why It Matters
A Tablet Hotels member and part of the Basecamp Resorts portfolio, Lamphouse proves you can get genuine boutique design in a budget-friendly mountain motel format. It's one of the better-located properties in Canmore, with a strong value-to-design ratio and the backing of a well-run multi-property operator.
Lamphouse Hotel is a renovated mid-century downtown motel that Basecamp Resorts has turned into a clean, design-forward boutique stay. The interiors lean into rustic leather, warm wood paneling, and Scandinavian-modernist touches — a sharper aesthetic than you'd expect from the classic two-story motel bones. There's no on-site restaurant, but that's fine: you're literally steps from Canmore's Main Street, with coffee shops, breweries, wine bars, and pubs all within a short walk.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Double Queen Bedroom
Same as the view variant without the guaranteed view — typically overlooks the parking area. Two queen beds, one bathroom, all the standard in-room amenities. Functional and clean, good for groups on a budget.
2 Queens
Double Queen Bedroom with View
Two queen beds and the mountain or street view — the view variant is worth specifically requesting. Sleeps up to four, with the same standard in-room touches: 55" TV, mini-fridge, coffee maker, kettle. A solid choice for friends traveling together or families with older kids.
2 QueensKing Room Dog Friendly
Same layout as the standard King Room but the one configuration at Lamphouse where four-legged guests are actually welcome. Good option if you're bringing a dog on your Rockies trip. Up to 2 guests.
KingKing Room with Mountain View
The entry-level pick for solo travelers or couples. One king bed with premium linens, and the all-important mountain view if you specifically book this variant. Simple and functional — mini-fridge, kettle, coffee pod machine, 55" flat-screen TV. At 226 sq ft, it's compact but not cramped. Smoke-free, not pet-friendly.
KingQueen Suite
A big step up in space from the standard rooms. Open-concept layout with a queen bed, a pull-out queen sofa bed, a seating area, a small dining table for four, and a kitchenette with microwave, toaster, mini-fridge, kettle, and coffee pod machine. At 400 sq ft it's comfortable for two and workable for four. Good for longer stays.
QueenThe Lamphouse Apartment
The big one. A 1,600 sq ft multi-level apartment that sleeps up to 10 across three actual bedrooms — one king, one queen, and one queen-over-queen bunk room — plus a queen pull-out sofa bed in the living area. A full kitchen with oven, stovetop, dishwasher, microwave, and all the cookware you need. In-unit washer and dryer. A private south-facing deck with mountain and Main Street views. Two full bathrooms plus a powder room. This is the right pick for a large group that wants a proper home base rather than a cluster of separate rooms.
