About this property

Welcome to Chipman Hotel

Situated in Chipman, Alberta, this hotel offers a welcoming spot for travelers passing through or exploring the region.

Visitors frequently mention the character-filled bar and a menu featuring satisfying burgers and hearty platters, with several reviews highlighting the hospitality and quality of food.

Great food and great small town Alberta experience. If you are just out for a ride/drive or decide to drop into the Edmonton Soaring club for a glider flight it should be mandatory to stop here for lunch.

Dave is *very* accommodating. Gail is an *awesome* cook. They have what I call the "Best in the West" fries ... and all their other food is pretty terrific too! What a marvellous change from the old Chipman Hotel!
