Introducing Our New Grimshaw Hotel – The Perfect Family Getaway Destination

02/03/2022

Alberta is world famous for many things, including the stunning Canadian Rocky Mountains, several incredible national parks, vibrant arts and food cultures, and numerous professional sports teams. A hidden gem in this province, though, is northern Alberta. Defined by vast rolling plains, gently flowing rivers and scenic lakes, an abundance of wildlife, and expansive stretches of tranquil highways, this section of Alberta is notably different. This region is called Peace Country, a gateway to the Northwest Territories and Alaska.

Whatever it is that brings you to the area, this is a perfect destination for those looking to truly get away from it all, even for a quick weekend. And now, there's a brand new Coast Hotel property in the heart of Peace Country for you to do exactly that! Come on, let us introduce you and show you around!

Introducing Coast Grimshaw Hotel & Suites!

Our new Grimshaw hotel has an ideal location in northern Alberta, lots of amenities with the comforts of home, and a choice of different accommodation types to suit a variety of needs.

Suite at Coast Grimshaw Hotel & Suites

Picturesque Grimshaw, AB Location

The Coast Grimshaw Hotel & Suites is located in a picturesque, tranquil section of northwestern Alberta known as Peace Country. The region centres around the eponymously-named river, affectionately called the "Mighty Peace."

The friendly, small community of Grimshaw itself sits at the junction of highways 2 and 2A, referred to as "Mile Zero'' of the Mackenzie Highway. This is also the starting point most people take to head up to Canada's famed Northwest Territories like the Yukon or continue on to the Alaska Highway for an epic road trip.

Grimshaw is a perfect jumping-off point for visiting some of northwestern Alberta's most beautiful natural attractions.

  • Cardinal Lake inside Queen Elizabeth Provincial Park - Just 10 kilometres from the Coast Grimshaw Hotel, this lake and provincial park provide year-round recreation opportunities. Boating and paddling sports are popular in the summer, as is hanging out on the beach and enjoying the fire pits. The park also has many trails perfect for hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, or snowshoeing, depending on the season.
  • Peace River Wilderness Park - This beautiful park is a popular destination for outdoor lovers, fishing enthusiasts, and pet owners. Fish one of the two lakes for rainbow trout or enjoy it in a kayak or on a paddleboard. The park also has a large, pet-friendly loop trail system with several interconnected trails.
  • Mile Zero Multiplex - Located directly across the street from the hotel, the Mile Zero Multiplex has a little something for everyone interested in being active. Lace up your skates or grab a stick to enjoy the indoor ice skating rink, run on the elevated track, or lift weights in the weight room. There's also a sparkling outdoor pool to enjoy in the summer.
  • Misery Mountain Ski Hill - In spite of its name, Misery Mountain is anything but, well, miserable! Located in the scenic nearby town of Peace River, Misery Mountain has an impressive 35 runs ranging in difficulty. There's a challenge for every skier here, from greens for the newbies to steeper runs for the more experienced. Gear rentals and skiing lessons are also available onsite.
  • Shaftesbury Trail - There's nothing quite like going for a scenic drive, and the Shaftesbury Trail is one of the most scenic and interesting in the Peace Country region. The 26-kilometre trail runs directly alongside the Peace River and has several historically significant points of interest along the way. Fort Fork, MacKenzie Cairn, and St. Augustine’s Mission are must-sees, but don't miss stopping at Strong Creek Park to take in the scenery and watch for wildlife. At the end of the Shaftesbury Trail, you can also take a ride on the river on the Shaftesbury Ferry.
  • Krooked House Ltd. - This small local pub sells beer from several of Alberta's best craft breweries. Order a pint or a flight to sample different beers. Krooked House also has a small food menu featuring pub classics such as charcuterie, pizza, and nachos, plus non-beer options including wine and cocktails.
