For more intimate affairs, the Executive Room offers 400 square feet of warmth and sophistication, complete with a fireplace and 10-foot-high windows showcasing north and eastward vistas. This room accommodates up to 24 seated guests or 30 for a cocktail-style gathering. 

At Canlis, every detail is thoughtfully curated to create an atmosphere of understated luxury. The culinary team crafts custom menus that highlight the finest seasonal ingredients, paired with an extensive selection of award-winning wines.
