The location is great, the room was very nice, we had breakfast twice in the restaurant and that was nice. I think we must have visited at peak time because the crowds were huge and sometimes the staff was stretched thin. I’d recommend staying here, it’s central to Banff so getting around is easy.

This is a stunning 5 star property. Rooms are very spacious and can easily accommodate a family or group of friends. The living space made it feel like a home away from home. Bathrooms and toiletries were excellent. They have thought of every detail and accounted for it.
