Grand Railway Hotels of Canada | The Story of Canada's Castles

The story of Canada begins and ends with its railways and railway hotels that shaped our country. Built by the Canadian Pacific, Canadian National, and Grand Trunk Pacific railways to attract tourists to explore the breathtaking rugged Rocky peaks en route to the edge of the Pacific. These hotels tell a tale of luxury in an era when passenger trains ruled the Great White North and my experience at 8 of them this summer. Have you stayed at a railway hotel?
