Top hotels in Downtown District
Moose Hotel And Suites
Hotel was very clean and nice , room was small but nice and clean and more than enough since we were out all day and were just there to sleep. Comfortable beds and good shower. Roof tops hot tubs were wonderful with beautiful views. The only complaint is that we went to lobby restaurant for breakfast ...

Lovely hotel, can tell it’s older, but rooms have been updated are great! Spacious, clean, & comfortable! The front desk staff were fantastic! Special shout out to Mathieu (from France), he was so nice & funny too! Only stayed one night but would definitely return again when in Banff!

Brewster Mountain Lodge
Very handily placed for the centre of town. Extremely helpful and friendly staff and comfortable room. Didn't like the roadworks outside, but that's not down to the hotel
