Top Banff National Park Hotel Reviews

Otter Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nous avons adoré notre séjour à cet hôtel. La localisation était parfaite pour nous (un peu à l’écart du centre de Banff) donc plus calme. On avait une passe d’autobus gratuite pour se déplacer vers le centre, entre autre. Le personnel était très aimable. Le restaurant de l’hôtel est très bon et celui de l’hôtel voisin est très pratique pour les déjeuners et collation. Très bel hôtel avec une zone spa/sauna très agréable après une grosse journée de randonnée"

Hotel Canoe and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent view.. clean property room.. washroom was beautiful"

Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise

10/10 Excellent

"Lake Louise and Banff National Park are really about the outdoors. The hotel offers options such as massage and spa services, and thermal facilities; they have a small but complete gym, steam room and swimming pool. They also have several options for dinning, a complete bar and a beautiful lounge with a view of the lake. The surroundings are overwhelmingly beautiful. The hotel itself is huge, well managed, and they have a tower that was recently renovated with large rooms with a view of the lake. Excellent options for those looking for a special stay"

Johnston Canyon Lodge and Bungalows

"Wonderful rustic stay! The location is perfect for relaxing (and avoiding some of the craziness of Banff and Lake Louise). The cabin was clean and cozy. It’s right next to the Johnston Canyon/Inkpots trailhead and convenient to others. The staff were wonderful and the restaurant and store were great."

Hidden Ridge Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful location! The hot tub overlooking the mountains was perfect. Room was clean and comfortable. All staff were very kind and friendly. Great stay!"

Fairmont Banff Springs

10/10 Excellent

"We and our pets had the most spectacular stay at this hotel. If you have the chance to book Gold status it makes all the difference. The staff and facilities were amazing. Yes the bathrooms are on the small side as this is a UNESCO property so there were limitations in how they could be designed. But everything else was phenomenal. There are so many people we want to thank from Hamish in the valet who greeted us by name! to Chamath, Caitlin, Katie, Georgia, Chris(also in valet) , Olivier, Shane and the best housekeeper Howard! We look forward to coming to visit Banff again as it is truly one of the most spectacular places to go!"

Lake Louise Inn

8/10 Good

"Find another place to eat. In the village a shop called Lagger had excellent sandwiches and their pastry was to die for."
