Multiple media outlets are reporting the new royal couple, Prince Harry and Princess Meghan Markle, will honeymoon at the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge.
Ken Hall, FJPL general manager, threw some cold water on the gossip Monday morning.
"Though Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge has a longstanding history of serving as a royal retreat, we can confirm that the couple is not currently booked for a stay," he wrote in an email to the Fitzhugh. "We are declining further comment at this time, as our top priority is always the safety and privacy of all of our guests."
The hotel didn't miss a marketing opportunity, though, sharing on Facebook a 360-degree virtual tour of the "royal retreat" as they called it, Union Jack paraphernalia in plain sight, at about noon Tuesday.
The National Post and other Canadian outlets sourced a TMZ.com report that the couple will travel to the iconic lodge just outside Jasper, AB to stay in the JPL's 6,000-square-foot Outlook Cabin, also referred to as the royal retreat, where in 1939 Queen Elizabeth and King George VI stayed and in June 2005, Queen Elizabeth II stayed with Prince Philip.
The cabin features six bedrooms, four with king and two with double beds. Each bedroom has an ensuite bathroom.
The original structure was destroyed in a fire on Nov. 9, 2000.
It was rebuilt according to the original floor plan, recreating John Schofield's "historic" design, and reopened on Sept. 9, 2001.
It was dedicated to "all its guests who will create memories as fond as those of the past."
