The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge experienced fire damage during the July 2024 wildfires near Jasper, Alberta, but most of its historic main lodge and the majority of guest buildings were spared. Specifically, two hotel accommodations—Milligan Manor and one Beaver Suite—burned down, along with several operations buildings, including the engineering and golf maintenance shed. There was also some damage to employee housing and significant loss to vegetation across the property[1][2][3][4][5].
Despite the destruction to some buildings, the main lodge and most other key structures remain intact, and the resort has announced plans to reopen following repairs and restoration[1][2][3][5].
Historically, the main lodge at Jasper Park Lodge was completely destroyed by fire once before, in 1952, but was rebuilt within a year and has stood since then[6].
In summary:
- Main lodge: Spared and intact
- Some guest accommodations: Destroyed (Milligan Manor, one Beaver Suite)
- Operations/maintenance buildings: Destroyed
- Employee housing: Some damage
- Majority of property: Unscathed and will reopen
