Leisure & Business

The property goes the extra mile to provide guests with fitness classes to help them stay fit. This Banff hotel has a fitness suite.

“The air-conditioned rooms, each with a private balcony, make this 4-star hotel a smart choice in Banff. I particularly like that it's walkable to town, but far enough removed for peace. With mountain views, an on-site restaurant, and those rooftop hot pools, expect an experience geared to both comfort and adventure.”
