Planning guides
Short, practical reading to go with the hotel catalogue. They describe general conditions; always check current rules, prices and conditions with the hotel or the official source before you travel.
Choosing a hotel in Canada
A checklist: location and transit, parking, taxes and fees, cancellation, pets, accessibility, breakfast and kitchens.
When to go
Summer, autumn colour, ski season and the shoulder months, region by region, and how each affects availability.
Getting around
Major airports, trains, rental cars, long distances and winter-driving rules that surprise visitors.
Mountain and park stays
Banff, Canmore, Jasper and Whistler: park passes, wildlife, shuttles and booking early.
