“My take on The Drake Inn is that its strengths lie in its commanding mountain and river views from many rooms, an advantage that easily outweighs any signs of its historical character. The proximity to Canmore's town center is undeniable, making it exceptionally convenient for exploring on foot. It feels like a place where the essential elements - comfort, a great vista, and location - are prioritised.”
