The Astoria Hotel - Jasper, Alberta

The Astoria Hotel, built in 1925, is a long-standing landmark along Connaught Drive in Jasper, Alberta. Its sharp alpine-inspired rooflines and striped façade stand out against the mountain backdrop, offering a glimpse of Jasper’s mix of rustic charm and classic Canadian Rockies hospitality. Beneath the peaks, George’s Restaurant and the De’d Dog Bar & Grill serve as gathering spots for both visitors and locals, making the Astoria a true staple of this mountain town.

 

Originally opened as the Hotel Cavell, it was renamed the Astoria Hotel in 1927 after authorities objected to its original name—chosen in honour of a heroic war nurse—when the owners decided to add a beer parlour. The new name stuck, and nearly a century later the Astoria remains woven into Jasper’s history as one of its most recognizable hotels.
