Jasper Park Lodge accepting reservations again after private block booking cancelled

JASPER, Alta. – A famous hotel in Alberta’s Rocky Mountains has reopened reservations after they were closed mysteriously last month because of a private block booking.

In an email obtained by The Canadian Press, the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge tells customers who initially had their reservations cancelled that the decision to accept the block booking “was not taken lightly.”

The hotel says it made the decision weighing its responsibility to its guests alongside its responsibility to workers, who are struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The email says the hotel is now accepting re-bookings for customers’ original dates.
