Best Western Premier Executive Residency Medicine Hat
A sauna and steam room built for a prairie winter
About this stay
A sauna and steam room alongside the indoor pool and hot tub give this Best Western Premier the closest thing to a real wellness circuit on the Medicine Hat strip, and the pairing earns its place through an Alberta winter when the outdoor fireplace terrace becomes the only outdoor option worth using. Rooms come with bathrobes as standard, a detail that matches the property's wellness lean, alongside a work desk, refrigerator and microwave for anyone extending a work trip. The five-mile run to Medicine Hat Airport keeps flight connections practical, and free on-site private parking removes a variable for anyone driving in. Breakfast covers continental, American, buffet and gluten-free lines, and the restaurant carries the same range through the day. A 9.2 rating across 217 reviews leads the guest scores on the strip.

Our take
This is the pick for anyone who wants an actual sauna-and-steam-room circuit rather than a hot tub bolted onto a standard pool. The outdoor fireplace terrace makes a genuine case for a shoulder-season stay when most competitors only offer indoor space. Business travellers extending a stay benefit from the work desk and bathrobe standard, though anyone chasing a resort-scale pool deck will find this a compact, business-hotel version of wellness rather than a spa destination.
- ✓Use the sauna and steam room together in the evening, the pairing is the property's real differentiator on the strip
- ✓Book a table by the outdoor fireplace terrace on a cool evening, it is unusual for a Medicine Hat hotel
- ✓Ask for the gluten-free breakfast line specifically, it runs alongside the standard continental and buffet options
Why we love it
- Sauna and steam room together
- Outdoor fireplace terrace
- Bathrobes as a room standard
- Free on-site private parking
Why guests love itA sauna, a steam room, an indoor pool and a hot tub give the Best Western Premier Executive Residency more to do on a cold evening than most Medicine Hat hotels. The outdoor fireplace terrace is a pleasant extra for adults, family rooms have air conditioning and bathrobes, and private parking is free. It holds 9.2 from 217 reviews. I would book it when the stay lasts several nights and comfort matters.
