Pool, fitness and the renovation: what is open at Grey Eagle right now

The pool is closed and there is no spa, but there is a workaround, a hot tub under a big sky and a list of things to do that are not the casino.

What the renovation covers

The resort describes renovation work in phases throughout 2026 and 2027, with timelines that may change. On the list: the expanded casino floor, a refreshed buffet, an upgraded Blaze restaurant and an enhanced Stage Bar. The hotel-casino walkway, closed for a while, has reopened. According to the resort, the hotel, most dining, the entertainment and much of the casino stay open while the work goes on.

For a guest, the renovation means three practical things: swim in the city rather than at the hotel, eat at Little Chief or the buffet rather than Blaze, and expect some hoardings on the casino side.

Things to do on site that are not the casino

  • A firepit with s'mores kits, by arrangement with the hotel.
  • Board games, and a gaming room with a PS5 console bookable at the front desk.
  • A business centre with a free computer and Wi-Fi; print or scan up to five pages at the desk.
  • Complimentary activities for registered hotel guests through November; space is limited, reserve at the desk or reservations@greyeagle.ca.
  • A shuttle to select locations, and a complimentary newspaper in the lobby.

Outdoors within a few minutes

Weaselhead Flats, a natural area along the Elbow River, is about 6 minutes away by car. The Glenmore Reservoir pathways start around Glenmore Landing, about 11 minutes. In winter, the outdoor hot tub after a cold walk is as close to a spa as this resort gets, and on a clear night the sky does most of the decorating.
