Lovely location and hidden gem of trail walks Only downside is no shuttle service back from Banff city centre after 5.30pm and it’s fixed 100 dollars to get back to the hotel Won’t be caught out of that

Amazing hotel with fabulous accommodating staff. There were many hiccups during our travel unrelated to the hotel and the hotel staff was there to assist every step of the way. The gondola rides to and from the hotel were amazing and added that little extra flair to our adventure. The hotel itself is conveniently located within 30 minutes from Banff and many popular tourist attractions. The on site hot tub was very well maintained and made for an excellent end of day activity when you are looking to unwind and relax. They resort grounds also offer their own trails and views with a chance of seeing wildlife. Would highly recommend and would stay again.

Beautiful Area! Nice staff. Can hike outside the door. Nice hot tub,robes, and rooms. A few dining options on property. They do charge a resort fee at checkout that is not clear until you check out and they have ice to keep drinks cold but no fridge for leftovers. Nice hiking guide with lots of information. We didn't actually hike very far but he gave a lot of great information and was personable.

great scenic place to stay

We loved staying up on the mountain and being able to ride the gondola up and down. The shuttle bus to Banff helped a lot as we wanted to go back into town and not have to drive. The two restaurants and the cafe offered enough dining options for our two nights. Staff was very friendly and helpful and the brief guided hike was pleasant, as was the hot tub

Awesome views . Great hiking. Staff is amazing. Walls in the room are a little thin so be careful with the hanky panky. We upgraded our room to the King bed with the more updated room and it was well worth it. It is a about 10 minutes from Banff but then you need to get on the ski lift and take a 20 minute ride to the top where the hotel is but it was well worth it. Very peacfull.
