Our stay at the Fox Hotel in Banff was nothing short of amazing. The location is ideal—just a short walk from downtown, yet still peaceful and surrounded by the stunning mountain scenery that Banff is known for. One of the highlights was definitely the hot tub experience. It’s designed like a cave, creating a super unique and relaxing atmosphere—perfect after a day of hiking or exploring the town. The room was very clean and comfortable, with everything we needed for a cozy stay. The overall vibe of the hotel was warm and welcoming, and the staff were great too. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Banff—whether it’s your first time or your tenth. We’ll definitely be back!

First stay here in twenty years, and nothing has changed. That’s not a good thing. Cracked floor tiles that obviously haven’t been repaired in a very long time. Dirty in the common areas and garbage around the place. Was really unimpressed by the state of the place. Elevator also took forever and there’s only one. Parking is super tight, but free underground is much appreciated. Room was okay, it’s got what you need, but it’s tired. This place badly needs a renovation. Furniture is scuffed. Bed creeks like crazy and sound travels through the rooms. It’s dated and it’s obvious. Maybe it’s the next Banff hotel to get a refresh? It needs it. Hot tub area is cool, gym barely qualifies as a gym. Staff were friendly. Overall, if you’re looking for a cheap option in the off season, there’s probably better. I would never recommend this place if you’re looking in the high season, for several hundred a night….. it’s a hard pass. Such a shame.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Fox Hotel and Suites! The location is perfect, it’s walkable to downtown, but still nice and quiet. The staff was very friendly and the hot pool was a nice touch! I would absolutely stay here again.

The Fox hotel is a great place for couples, familles or even groups of friends to come and stay for a vacation. You can enjoy the spa and sauna and the stores are really close to the hotel. There is a variety of restaurants to try as well with every type of food you like . The hotel staff was nice and helpful with questions you may have .

It is an old building but it definitely has its charm. Room was small for a double bed but was still functional. Thin walls so you can hear noises specially it's wood. The room access is from outdoors, and this was a downside as we used the hot pool and to come into the room thru -20 it's not convenient as there is also not a clear path and have to guess which way to go. It is not as bad as it sounds but you have to be aware of it. The bigger downside for us was the key cards not working and trying multiple times both cards to enter the room. After a few minutes we managed to get inside. This problem persisted even after we swapped them at the reception. I really hope that it is a local issue and it is due low battery of the lock. We stayed for one night and overall was a good stay and the we enjoyed the great cave style hot pool.
