Introducing the Black Diamond Club at Kananaskis Lodge: Elevated Luxury in the Heart of the Rockies

‍

There’s something magical about Kananaskis. Tucked away in the Alberta Rockies just an hour from Calgary, this mountain retreat has always been one of my favourite places to reset and reconnect. And now, with the launch of the Black Diamond Club at the Kananaskis Mountain Lodge, the experience has been elevated to a whole new level of luxury.

What is the Black Diamond Club?

The Black Diamond Club is the lodge’s newest premium offering — an exclusive tier of service and comfort designed for those who want that extra touch of curated hospitality. Think of it as a “hotel within a hotel,” where personalized experiences, upgraded rooms, and private amenities take centre stage.

As a guest of the Black Diamond Club, you’re welcomed into a dedicated lounge space that feels more like a mountain chalet than a hotel lobby. Here, you can enjoy:

‍

• Daily gourmet breakfast
• All-day refreshments
• Afternoon snacks and evening hors d'oeuvres
• Premium concierge services
• Private check-in and check-out

It's the kind of elevated detail that makes you feel like everything has already been taken care of — because it has.

A Mountain Lodge for Everyone

One of the reasons I keep coming back to Kananaskis Mountain Lodge is that it truly has something for everyone. Whether you’re traveling solo, planning a romantic escape, bringing the whole family, or gathering with a group of friends, this place is designed to make everyone feel at home.

‍

For families and kids, there’s plenty of space to explore and play. The lodge offers kid-friendly programming, a well-equipped indoor pool, and spacious rooms that accommodate families with ease. The surrounding trails are perfect for little adventurers, and there’s no shortage of activities for all ages — from s’mores by the fire to biking and wildlife spotting.

‍

If you’re traveling with a group, the cozy communal spaces, variety of dining options, and the new Black Diamond Club amenities make it an ideal base for a group getaway, retreat, or special celebration.

Recharge at the Kananaskis Nordic Spa

No visit to Kananaskis is complete without experiencing the Kananaskis Nordic Spa — located just steps from the lodge. This adults-only alpine sanctuary features a series of outdoor pools, steam rooms, saunas, and relaxation spaces nestled in the trees. The hydrotherapy cycle of hot, cold, and rest is the ultimate way to unwind after a hike or simply treat yourself to some quiet, restorative time.

‍

Whether you’re soaking under the stars or enjoying a eucalyptus steam, the Nordic Spa is one of the crown jewels of the entire experience.

Final Thoughts

The Rockies have always held a special place in my heart. And with the introduction of the Black Diamond Club, Kananaskis Mountain Lodge has taken that mountain magic and refined it into something truly exceptional. Whether you’re coming with your kids, your partner, or your closest friends, this place makes luxury feel welcoming, accessible, and connected to nature.
