St. Eugene Golf Resort & Casino

The setting

St. Eugene combines a hotel, Casino of the Rockies and an 18-hole golf course in a mountain setting near Cranbrook. It is a useful property to understand through its landscape and its history together. The resort describes 125 rooms and suites, including accommodation in the historic Mission building.

Rooms & time at the hotel

Room location matters here. A stay in the Mission building has a different architectural context from accommodation elsewhere in the resort, so confirm the building and room category before making plans. The resort lists a heated outdoor pool, hot tubs, fitness facilities and dining options including NUMA and a golf restaurant.

Beyond the casino

The Les Furber-designed course is one of the property's main outdoor facilities. More importantly, the Mission building was formerly a residential school for Indigenous children. The resort's interpretation of that history is an essential part of understanding the place; approach a visit with respect rather than treating the building simply as a heritage backdrop.

What to ask before you stay

Ask about access to the interpretive centre and any guided visits, seasonal golf availability, and the route from your room to restaurants without entering casino areas.
