March 19, 2020 (Calgary, AB) – Deer Lodge, part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Resorts family, has decided the best course of action is to close its doors temporarily until May 2020. This decision is due to the recent COVID-19 outbreak and is a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of our valued staff and guests.

This decision has not been made lightly, but with various factors at play. Deer Lodge’s design is that of a traditional hotel without the capacity to encourage social distancing. CRMR’s other two mountain lodge properties, Buffalo Mountain Lodge in Banff, and Emerald Lake Lodge in Field, BC, boast individual cabin-style accommodations that adheres more to safety practices in place by our governing bodies. Both of our sister properties in Banff, AB, and Field, BC, will remain open due to their designs being more in line with social distancing practices.

To not displace our guests, all existing reservations at Deer Lodge from now until the May 18, 2020 long weekend will be contacted to be relocated to either Buffalo Mountain Lodge or Emerald Lake Lodge. All existing room rates will be honored at our sister properties.

CRMR values our guest and staff safety above all else, and we feel we are making the safest decision to ensure social distancing is enacted within our own family of companies.
