Arguably one of the best hotels to stay at in Banff for the average traveller. The reception is warm and inviting, checking in is easy and the parking is well thought out. The hotel has a specacular rooftop hottub with lots of room and the view is spectacular. Heated floors, a wonderful sauna and a well appointed fitness room round out the amenities that I have experienced. The rooms are great and the pour-over coffee provided in the room adds to the warmth the rest of the hotel brings. I stay here as often as I can

love my stay here but, there is no one who protects the pool. So, a lot of outsiders come through the side door just to ‘enjoy’ the pool that should be for hotel guest.

Beautiful hotel ! The room was newly renovated, comfortable bed and very nice bathroom and shower. The only downfall is we couldn’t watch the TV while in bed, a bit of a design fail in my opinion. The hot pools were very nice but one was closed and the jets didn’t seem to be working. Otherwise we were happy with our stay.
Early morning view from the hot pool !
Sitting area with TV
Beautiful forest view !
