Featuring a hot tub, steamroom, and sauna, this Banff hotel is located just 19 km from Sunshine Village Ski Resort. Guests can enjoy the on-site restaurant and bar. Free WiFi and a cable TV are provided in every guest room.

No breakfast available. Why? Dined in the restaurant on our first night, asked for burgers medium rare and was told they would be cooked well done. They were foul, totally over cooked. What a mistake by the ‘chef’ who clearly has no concept of people’s preferences. Did not go back to eat there again.

    This is a lovely hotel that's warm and welcoming with stunning views from all the rear windows. The staff are always friendly and make a point of saying hello and can't do enough for you. We were very happy staying here and will definitely use this hotel again should we return to the beautiful Banff.

    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
