Banff Park Lodge

On one side there is a glacier-fed river and the sublime peace of a protected wilderness paradise known around the world as Banff National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with wildlife, wide-open spaces and jaw-dropping mountain views as far as the eye can see. On the other side, just steps away, lies the charming community of Banff with first-class amenities, superior shopping, and a wide variety of lively entertainment, restaurants and cultural attractions.

With 211 bright spacious rooms that sport step-out balconies to enjoy the fresh alpine air, we are Banff’s only 4-Star Canada Select full-service resort hotel and conference centre and the highest-rated independent hotel in Canada (Four Green Leaf) when it comes to our environmental programs. Regular guests loyally return each year for our friendly, relaxed and attentive service, convenient location and our casual Rocky Mountain atmosphere. Re-energize yourself in our recreation facilities including a eucalyptus-infused steam room, invigorating hot plunge bath and Jacuzzi tub, lounge in a comfortable leather club chair with your favorite beverage in front of a cozy fire, or enjoy fine Canadian cuisine in one of our two restaurants.

Year-round adventures are just outside our doors. Whether it’s canoeing on the Bow River next to the hotel, hiking the nearby walking trails that ribbon through the forest or an exhilarating bike ride through the Bow Valley, within minutes from the hotel you can find peace, quiet and solitude.
In the winter, you can rent skates and glide around a cleared oval on the river, try your hand at dog sledding, or catch a convenient bus to three distinctive ski and snowboarding resorts.
Cruise the art galleries, local museums that celebrate Banff’s rich history, or shop for unique hand-made gifts in locally-owned shops. The Banff Park Lodge offers a rare opportunity to experience the best of adventures or shopping, both available within minutes of the hotel.

Getting here is easy
Banff is located just 90 minutes west of the Calgary International Airport. Guests can choose to take an airport shuttle service, a private taxi, or rent a car for the 130 kilometers (83 miles) trip.
