Falkridge
A year-round international destination retreat located in the foothills of the Canadian Rocky Mountains with world-class facilitates set amid a spectacular natural setting. Just 30 minutes from the city of Calgary and in close driving distance to Banff National park, the architecturally designed Falkridge offers technologically savvy meeting spaces, opulent guest suites and a professional kitchen that has played host to celebrities, politicians and corporate executives alike.
Often considered the premier executive retreat in Western Canada, Falkridge is also the perfect space for a secluded boutique hotel or destination retreat and training centre. The facilities are made up of over 27,000 sq ft of interiors on 13 acres and include the Main Residence, the Guest House, Gazebo and Water Tower. The location offers itself to nature lovers with spectacular views of the majestic Rocky Mountains. Nearby there are year round recreational facilities ranging from golf and white water rafting to internationally renowned skiing and hiking. The landscaping and architecture of Falkridge lend itself to the natural elements with generous use of stone and timber framing in the construction of the facilities.
At 15,000 sq ft. the main residence is a grand structure comprised of seven guest suites, a large professional kitchen, dining room, lounge and a media room that comfortably accommodates over 20 people. The home is beautifully appointed with great attention to detail from the Italian granite floors and custom glass railings to the curved Sapele Pomele veneer doors. Whether gathering for cocktails before dinner or playing host to an evening’s soiree, the great room is the place to be. Providing architecturally stunning views of the outdoors with full floor to ceiling windows, gathering around the conversation starting Altar Bar is the perfect place to refresh your beverage. Salvaged from Calgary’s St. Mary’s Cathedral, the altar is a beautiful and rare rose coloured Italian marble with a long and valued Roman Catholic history.
Your guests will fully appreciate the splendour of their suites in the adjacent Guest House. There are six separate suites each complete with heated tile flooring, luxurious spa-like ensuites and private balconies with inspiring views of the Rocky Mountains. The Guest House is over 12,000sq.ft and apart from the guest suites offers a lounge area with fireplace, training and conference area and a full media centre.
Getting to and from Falkridge is easy and convenient. With the recently upgraded Calgary International Airport your guest will have no trouble coming from anywhere in the world. Traveling from Calgary is a scenic 30 minute drive and a few short hours from the world renowned winter destinations of Banff, Lake Louise and Kicking Horse Mountain.
