The newly built Hotel Canoe & Suites offers incredible mountain views and quality service on the edge of Banff town. Relax in the rooftop hot pools or grab a bite to eat in the on-site restaurant.

Hot pools with mountain view

Relax in stunning surroundings in the hotel's rooftop hot pools. With views towards Cascade Mountain, these outdoor pools are the perfect place to decompress after a day on the slopes, along with the sauna and fire pit.

Banff Avenue location

Located on the edge of town on the resort's main street, Banff Avenue, the Hotel Canoe & Suites has great views of the national park's surrounding mountains.

Walking into downtown is a simple 20 minute stroll, or you can easily catch the bus from opposite the hotel and be in the centre of Banff in just 5 minutes. The local ROAM bus pass for routes 1 and 2 is included with your stay at the Hotel Canoe & Suites.

Getting onto the slopes at Banff's three resorts is easy too. The buses to Banff Sunshine Village, Lake Louise ski resort and Mount Norquay pick up and drop off at the Moxy Hotel opposite the hotel.

On-site restaurant

The hotel's Sudden Sally eatery is located just off the main lobby and is payable locally. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner you won't have to go far to find excellent food. At breakfast the restaurant offers a variety of pancakes, oats, eggs and a great coffee selection. For lunch and dinner the menu is filled with salads, flatbreads and famous Alberta steak alongside local beers and cocktails.

Banff downtown is just a short walk away and has tonnes of incredible restaurants from sushi to pizzas and fondue to steakhouses.

Coffee programme

The Hotel Canoe & Suites is a coffee lover's dream. You can order your own unique blend of coffee for your room. The hotel will then keep you stocked in hot drinks throughout your stay. There are plenty of tea options too and hot chocolate for the little ones.

Banff is a dynamic town set in the spectacular Banff National Park. Whilst skiing is core to Banff's winter appeal, the town is host to many other popular winter activities, you can enjoy everything from dog-sledding, snowshoeing and relaxing in hot springs in one of Canada's most beautiful and oldest national parks.

Skiing and snowboarding in Banff

Banff provides home-base to three distinctive ski resorts, and a triple area SkiBig3 lift pass covers all three - Mount Norquay (10 minutes drive), Sunshine Village (25 minutes drive) and Lake Louise (45 minutes drive). A regular and free ski bus service, included with your pre-booked lift pass, operates from our Banff hotels to all three ski areas.

Mount Norquay is often referred to as Banff’s 'local' hill but the resort should not be under-rated. It has easy trails but also some challenging ones too, such as Memorial Bowl, Temptation and Lone Pine. Sunshine Village has some of the highest skiing in Canada. It has three mountains: Mount Standish (with some of the easier trails) Lookout Mountain (high above the tree line with views across the Great Divide) and Goat’s Eye (with some of the best tree skiing on its lower slopes). Lake Louise offers one of the largest ski areas in North America with over 4,200 acres of skiable terrain. New terrain and chairlifts are continually being added to this beautiful area renowned for its jaw dropping glaciers, lakes and forests.

If you ski or snowboard all three (known as the Trifecta Challenge), along with bragging rights, you'll be rewarded. Stop by the SkiBig3 Adventure Hub on Banff Avenue and collect your reward which includes a FREE pint of beer for your efforts!

Where to stay in Banff

We offer a range of hotels across the lively resort of Banff, all offering facilities that will make for the perfect ski holiday. You'll find all our hotels have fantastic locations in regards to the resort centre and getting to the ski area, and you'll be able to use the spa facilities included to relax and rejuvenate those muscles so you can really maximise your time on the slopes.
