Mount Sir Donald Station and Hotel was a historic hotel located in the Selkirk Mountains of British Columbia, Canada, in the late 1800s. The hotel was built in 1886 by the Canadian Pacific Railway as a stopover for travelers on their way through the Rockies. The station was named after Mount Sir Donald, which is one of the highest peaks in the area.

The hotel was a popular destination for wealthy travelers seeking adventure and relaxation in the scenic wilderness. The hotel was known for its luxurious accommodations and its location in the heart of the Rockies. The hotel offered a range of amenities including a dining room, a billiards room, and a reading room. The hotel was also equipped with a telegraph office, which allowed guests to stay connected with the outside world.

The surrounding area was a popular destination for outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, and hunting. The hotel offered guided tours of the area, as well as hunting and fishing expeditions. Guests could also enjoy a variety of winter sports such as skiing and snowshoeing.

The hotel was in operation for several decades, but it was eventually abandoned in the early 1900s as the Canadian Pacific Railway shifted its focus to other areas. Today, the site of the Mount Sir Donald Station and Hotel is a popular destination for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who come to explore the rugged beauty of the Selkirk Mountains.
