Banff Park Lodge

We had adjoining rooms for two adults and two older teenagers, a corner king and a queen, on the top floor. Fabulous views from the balconies of the surrounding mountains and even the Bow River, which was a 2 min walk away. Supermarket and Bear St/Banff Avenue shops, galleries and restaurants were also 2 min away. Catholic church or Presbytarian church a 5 min walk. There is ample free parking for hotel guests in the basement. We only used our car to drive to Sunshine (15 min) and one day to Lake Louise (40 min). Everything in Banff was easy walking distance. Our rooms were really spacious and comfortable, with good strong showers, a small fridge, microwave and kettle. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was amazing, and there were also a-la-carte options. We opted out of daily housekeeping and were rewarded with $5 restaurant vouchers per room per night - $130 - well worth it!! And we were still able to ask for anything we ran out of or needed.

The lodge is absolutely at the best location in Banff- right by the river, right near the park and museums, practically on the bike path and inside downtown. All the staff- restaurant, front desk, concierge, housekeeping-- were extraordinarily courteous and helpful. They were above and beyond expectation. We used the breakfast buffet several times and it was very good. The pool is clean and well-kept as well as the locker room and we love the towels.

Great location with access to Banff town minutes away. There was also a supermarket close by. Large rooms and great amenities for families for example, they have a laundry room where you can wash and dry clothes (coin operated) which also had a microwave, useful for heating up food for little ones! There is also an ATM in the hotel and underground parking. Hotel restaurant was also good quality although range of food could have been wider. Staff were friendly and helpful and went the extra mile on a few occasions, for example recommending local dining places on our first night as we arrived quite late, making one of our suitcases travel worthy with some duct tape, trying to arrange a tour for us with one of the tour companies in the hotel and giving us access to the parking garage for a short period after we had checked out as we had some time before our flight. We appreciate the flexibility, thank you!

Great location from the village, did everything on foot and loved the experience. Very quiet. They placed us on a room with a view of the mountains which was pretty nice. Food from the restaurant was amazing too.

New Large livable room with 2 beds and 2 bathrooms great for a family. Room divider to split room at night was really nice. Close walk to all shops and restaurants. Staff was excellent
