The Perfect Destination for a Couples Getaway is Mount Robson Inn

administrator — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 02:16:31 +0000

JASPER, ALBERTA, Canada – Getting away for a relaxing vacation with the one you love can be easier than booking an expensive cruise or a lengthy international flight. Staying local and spending time with each other can be just as romantic as booking a vacation abroad while allowing you to save money and travel time. A change of scenery is often all it takes to make your getaway seem like an exotic adventure.

When your day to day life is the hustle and bustle of the city you probably don’t want to check yourself into a hotel room that offers a similar view. And living in an area where you already have all the peace and quiet you could ever want may leave you with the need for a little excitement. The happy medium? Jasper.

Take in the spectacular views found in the surrounding mountain landscapes of Jasper National Park. And, you can make your getaway as active or tranquil as you like. The Mount Robson Inn’s Suite & Sparkling Package offers the best of the great indoors with a night’s stay in the luxurious Sunwapta Suite with Jacuzzi tub and sparkling wine upon arrival. For the best of the great outdoors there are few romantic walks that offer so much wonder as the Maligne Canyon Icewalk. Share some quality time skiing at Marmot Basin. Afterwards enjoy worry free après ski cocktails and appetizers by adding ski shuttle tickets to your Mount Robson Inn winter vacation.

You don’t need a special occasion, a lot of money or even a lot of time to change your scenery, your perspective and spice things with that special someone. Mount Robson Inn’s Suite & Sparkling Package from $169 per night, reg $215, includes one night stay and bottle of bubbly.
