The Banff Boutique Inn is 10 minutes’ drive from the Banff Gondola, which takes guests up the Sulphur Mountain. Cave and Basin is less than 5 minutes’ walk from the inn.

We loved staying at Banff boutique inn! first of all the staff and Poline and Hannah especially, were so nice and helpful. Free parking, quiet but near downtown location worked perfectly for us. We brought our own groceries and cooked at the full equipped kitchen with no problems. The complimentary Tea, Coffee and hot chocolate were so good and in great quality. The common area next to the fire place and the books and board games let us feel like a home for two nights. It was amazing, romantic vacation in the snow.

This apartment-style property is nestled in a secluded area on Tunnel Mountain and offers stunning views of Banff town centre and the surrounding mountains. The resort features apartments with full kitchens and wood-burning fireplaces.

The trip was to chill, relax by the fireplace after the hot tub, and most importantly, away in the countryside. The hotel was great! You can even order bottle of wine to be ready for your check-in time.. Swimming in the hot spring outdoors while it's snowing is just awesome. Especially in the winter!

    Location of the hotel was good, not quite in downtown Banff, so away from any noise/congestion but close enough to be able to walk into downtown easily in about 10 or 15 minutes. The room was cozy - with a VERY comfy and high bed with comfortable pillows and bedding, a large TV & a fireplace with a timer. My favourite part of our stay was the mineral salt ( I think!) Hot tub; the ambience and design of the whole pool area, whilst small, was lovely and very relaxing. The staff were all super friendly and helpful
