Top hotels in Downtown District
Moose Hotel And Suites
We have enjoyed this hotel for the past 4 years on our travels to Banff for my birthday week. We enjoy the atmosphere, amenities, proximity to local shops and dining. The staff is friendly but many new faces this year and the vibe seemed a bit different. A little less personal than the years ...
