There are well over 100 hotels in Banff, yes, I know, that’s a lot of hotels for a tiny town of only 9,000 permanent residents! In fact, there are so many hotels that it can seem overwhelming when trying to choose where to stay in Banff – I’m sure that’s how you’re feeling!
And what’s worse?
The definition of the “best hotels in Banff” changes for every person. What do I mean?
Well, the best hotels in Banff differ depending on who is booking. Some people are looking for great value and something that won’t break the bank. Others want the ultimate Banff experience staying up in the mountains, while others won’t sacrifice luxury for anything else.
Is location the most important factor when deciding the best place to stay in Banff? Is your budget more important? What about parking, on-site restaurants, or pools? Does it need to have a spa?
Well, based on the dozens of times I’ve been to Banff, the many hotels I’ve stayed in, and the chitter-chatter around them all from my friends and family who frequent Banff, I’ve come up with this blog.
This blog outlines the BEST hotels in Banff town, near the downtown area because, let’s face it, that’s where most visitors to Banff want to stay. As an added bonus, I’ve also included some of the best places to stay in Banff National Park in other areas outside of town.
It is not only a list of the best hotels in Banff town (including the downtown area), but it is also a list broken up into categories to suit whatever type of traveler you are! It includes the best 5-star hotels near downtown Banff as well as cheap places to stay in Banff. So no matter what, you’ll find the right hotel for you on this list!

The location is right in the heart of Banff, ideal for walking to many of the attractions and activities in the area.
The amazing price tag does come with a couple of sacrifices though. There is no onsite pool and the rooms don’t have air conditioning (which isn’t normally a problem in Banff but is worth noting.) The on-site bar can also get quite rowdy and loud, so this might not be the best place to stay for those who are light sleepers.
That all being said, the reviews of this hotel are incredible for the price and there is a reason it is almost always booked full months in advance!
You can check availability and book the Samesun Banff either on Hostelworld or Booking.com

You can easily venture into town for attractions or a night on the town.
The hot tub resembles a cave and is very luxurious and relaxing. A perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring!
The Fox Inn & Suites is also one of the only hotels that offers a complimentary breakfast!
I love the trendy bar and restaurant on-site as well as the incredible views.

You can check availability and book the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel on Booking.com.
Best Hotels NEAR Banff Town (Around Banff National Park)
You don’t necessarily need to stay right in Banff town to experience Banff and all that Banff National Park has to offer. Often, hotels in Banff are completely booked up so you might have no other choice but to stay elsewhere.
Near Banff, there are a few other places to stay that also offer great accommodation. Some of the areas you can stay near Banff to easily access the park include:
Hotels in Lake Louise

Lake Louise is an attraction all on its own. This beautiful lake and village is home to some very famous attractions. There is a range of things to do in Lake Louise including visiting Lake Louise Ski Resort, Moraine Lake, and tons of hikes (like the popular Larch Valley Trail.) In Lake Louise village you’ll find a few amazing restaurants as well as hotels to choose from.
Some great hotels in Lake Louise are:
- Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise – Similar to the Fairmont Banff Springs, Fairmont Lake Louise is everything luxury! In fact, many say it offers even better views!
- Lake Louise Inn – This hotel is reasonably priced and offers spacious rooms and apartments. There is a pool, gym, hot tub, and three different restaurants onsite.
- Baker Creek by Basecamp – This is another luxurious option featuring spacious chalets and suites with a fireplace. Guests can enjoy spending time in their fitness center, steam room, and sauna. Or head outside and have a campfire by the river or go skating on the rink.
Be sure to read about all of the fun things to do if you’re visiting Lake Louise in winter.
Hotels in Canmore

Canmore is a great alternative to the pricey hotels in Banff. First of all, Canmore is not technically in Banff National Park (right on the border) which means you don’t need to buy a national park pass for the days you stay within Canmore.
Second of all, the hotel prices in Canmore are generally cheaper than in Banff town. This is great considering Canmore is only a short 20-minute drive from Banff town center – a win-win if you ask me!
Besides, Canmore is a beautiful destination on its own. There are a ton of fun things to do in Canmore including popular day-hikes like the famous Grassi Lakes and Ha Ling Peak, or relax with a beer in hand at one of Canmore’s local breweries.
Some great hotels in Canmore are:
- Canadian Rockies Chalets – Close to the center of Canmore, this gorgeous hotel offers chalets with 2 and 3 bedrooms, private patios, and full kitchens for as little as $135 CAD!
- Lamphouse Hotel – This hotel is in a very central, but scenic location. It is perfect for those on a budget at only $115 CAD a night for a double room.
- Malcolm Hotel – A luxury hotel with impeccable reviews offering an indoor pool and hot tub, BBQs, bar, and gym.
Calgary

Calgary isn’t necessarily “close” to Banff, but if you stay on the edge of the city closest to Banff the drive is only 1 hour and 20 minutes. The last time I went to Banff I spent one night in Calgary before heading to Banff for a couple of nights. I got up early after the night in Calgary and still had an entire day in Banff!
Doing this is a smart way to increase the amount of time you can spend in Banff by a day on either side for a cheap price. Hotels in Calgary are significantly cheaper than in Banff.
Alternatively, you could always stay in Calgary and just join a day tour to Banff or go on your own day trip!
Some great hotels in Calgary are:
- Centro Motel – This is a basic hotel very close to Banff. It is comfortable though and has free parking. It’s a good place to rest your head for a night before heading to Banff bright and early!
- Sandman Hotel and Suites Calgary West – This hotel is also very close to the edge of the city near Banff. It is reasonably priced and has great reviews as well as a pool!
- Best Western Plus Suites Downtown Calgary – This gorgeous hotel is located in downtown Calgary making it great for also exploring central Calgary.
Be sure to check out all of the fun activities you can do in Calgary in the winter before you go!
Other Things to do While You’re in Banff


While planning your trip, there are so many incredible things to do in Banff. But with so much to choose from, it might feel overwhelming. So below, I’ve picked some of my favorite activities in the area to help you out!
- Hike Johnston Canyon – There are tons of amazing hikes in and around Banff, but I especially loved hiking Johnston Canyon and seeing its spectacular waterfalls. You can drive to the trailhead on your own or book a tour. This e-bike and hiking tour is excellent for those who want to combine both activities. Or if you just want transport, take the hop-on-hop-off bus that stops here. If you visit Johnston Canyon in winter, this Icewalk tour will show you ice formations and frozen falls!
- Visit Lake Louise and Moraine Lake – If you want to see more stunning lakes in the area, check out these two! Parking at Lake Louise can be tricky (and impossible at Moraine Lake!), so we’d recommend this Banff National Park Tour. You’ll get to visit Lake Louise as well as Moraine Lake in one go – with enough time to walk around, learn the local history, and snap postcard-worthy photos.
- Ride the Banff Gondola – If you want the best vantage point in town, ride up the Banff Gondola! You’ll climb 698 meters (2,292 feet) to the top of Sulphur Mountain where you’ll have a view of six different mountain ranges. Tickets do sell out in the busy season, so make sure to purchase yours ahead of time!
- Look for wildlife – Banff is home to some pretty incredible wildlife. You might just spot elk, bears, deer, foxes, coyotes, bighorn sheep, and more! The best chance you have of seeing the most critters is on a wildlife tour in Banff. We really liked this small group tour where the guides tailor the itinerary to recent wildlife spottings and you get to see highlights of the national park along the way.
- Explore Banff town – While many nature-based activities are nearby, you shouldn’t neglect Banff town itself! Start your morning by visiting one of the cute local cafes, or grab patio drinks along Banff Avenue in the afternoon. To avoid traffic, check out the pedestrian-only Bear Street, with even more restaurants, cafes, and shops. And if that’s not enough, there’s also a Farmers Market every Wednesday in the summertime.
Parks Canada Pass Quick Info
If you plan on spending time in Canada’s national parks (including Banff, Jasper, Yoho, Mount Revelstoke, Glacier, Kootenay, and more) then you’re going to have to pay for a Parks Pass.
Single Daily Admission:
This type of pass is valid for one person for one day. It is ONLY the best value if you are traveling alone and only plan to visit a national park for a couple of days.
- Adult (ages 18-64) is $10.50 CAD
- Senior (65+) is $9.00 CAD
- Youth/Child (17 or younger) is FREE
Group Daily Admission:
If you’re traveling in a group or with family, you can buy a single-day admission for your entire vehicle (up to 7 people in one vehicle.)
- $21.00 CAD gets your entire vehicle entry for one full day
Parks Canada Discovery Pass
The “Discovery Pass” is what Parks Canada calls their year-long (365 days from the purchase date), multi-park entry pass. This pass will give 365 days of access to all participating national parks in Canada. This includes the most popular parks like Banff, Jasper, Yoho, Kootenay, Glacier, Mount Revelstoke, and so much more.
- Adult (age 18-64) – $72.25 CAD
- Senior (64+) – $61.75 CAD
- Group/Family (up to 7 people in one vehicle) – $145.25 CAD
Hot Tip: Although more expensive up front, if you plan on spending more than 7 days in different parks in Canada within a 12-month period, then the Discovery Pass is actually the better deal!
Parks Canada Passes can be bought online here or at one of the Visitor Centers or booths at the entrance to many national parks.
Renting a Car in Alberta

If you’re arriving in Alberta via plane then I can’t recommend getting a rental car enough. Canada is a large country and traveling between cities and even just getting out to some of the best places to visit in Alberta requires transport. Although you can use public transport, on some occasions, it means your trip will not only require more time but more planning.
Renting a car will definitely make exploring all of the fun things to see and do in Alberta easier.
Car rental in Canada isn’t super cheap, but it isn’t overly expensive either, especially if you get a budget car. The cheapest car with pickup and drop-off in different locations is around $100 CAD per day. The price does vary though depending on the time of year and the type of car that you rent. For car rentals, I use the website DiscoverCars.com. It’s a search engine with lots of deals with good customer service. In fact, I’ve used them all over the world including in Chile, New Zealand, and Australia.
Another popular option is to rent a campervan or motorhome (only for the brave in winter.) Using Motorhome Republic you can search hundreds of deals across multiple companies to pick a great vehicle and the cheapest price. Having a motorhome is a stunning way to see Canada, and using crown land and campsites, you can often camp for free or very cheap in the most beautiful places imaginable!
Travel Insurance is more important than ever right now!
If you’re traveling during these uncertain times, be sure that you have travel insurance!
SafetyWing is our go-to insurance when we are going on longer trips. They offer travel medical insurance that’s super affordable (only $45 USD per 4 weeks!) and even have coverage in case you get that dreaded c-word. The only thing to note is that the insurance must be purchased once you’ve left your home country – we typically buy it as soon as we land at the airport.
We’ve personally used SafetyWing for many different trips, and we’ve been reimbursed for countless expenses when we’ve fallen ill. SafetyWing even covered our flights back to Canada in full when the pandemic first happened (when last-minute flights before the borders closed were super expensive!)
It’s safe to say that travel insurance has saved us thousands over the years!
Canada Travel Essentials

Before you decide to head off and explore the gorgeous mountains, lakes, towns, and cities around Canada it’s important to have the right equipment. Of course, it’s likely you’ll have most of the basics already but there are some common items people forget that I never travel without.
Crampons: In winter, crampons are super handy, but what people don’t realize is that they come in handy in summer too. In fact, up until mid-July, you can still expect icy conditions in the mountains. The pair I use is only $37 CAD and they have lasted me 3 seasons so far!
Waterproof shell: Most people will have this item but I thought I’d include it anyway since it’s so handy in Canada. The Columbia waterproof jacket is a lightweight windproof jacket that will seriously save you in many situations. The best part, though? It comes in pink!
Bear bells: These are a must, and for the price, you shouldn’t hike without them. The bear bells I use are only $9 CAD and they come with a silencer (a must) so you can easily travel with them.
Scent-proof bag (for bears): Most people think you only need to keep the smell of food away from you when you’re overnight camping. However, bears can smell the food in your bag while you’re hiking and the best way to avoid an encounter is to use a scent-proof bear bag. Basically, you put your food in the bag and the bear cannot smell it while you’re hiking. This is one item most people never have (I never hike without it) but it could save you and the bear.
Buff: I love my buff! Seriously, I go nowhere without it both in winter and summer. There are a few brands around but I always buy the original Buff (you know, the one from Survivor!) They’re a little more expensive but the material is good quality and both breathable and quick drying.
Dry bag: I have expensive camera equipment, so I always travel with a dry bag large enough to fit some of my equipment. It can be a camera, book, binoculars, or even my keys. Regardless, a dry bag gives me peace of mind! The MARCHWAY bag is really good quality, and when not in use, takes up only a small amount of room.
Binoculars: I love my binoculars! Seriously they have come in handy so many times, especially when I’m looking for wildlife. The best part is, I use a set that only costs $25 CAD and they serve my basic needs without any issues!
Thanks for reading!

I hope this blog has helped you choose the best hotel for you for your Banff holiday! Banff is truly one of my favorite towns in the whole world – I hope you enjoy it as much as I always do!

Road Trip Guide: Vancouver to Banff

Michael Paul
Friday 4th of September 2020
Just going through the exciting process of planning a trip to Canada for next year, we live in the UK and have never been to Canada, so trying to get as much info as possible and have been on loads of websites over the last few weeks, and have found this to be one of, if not the best, full of so much info explained in a clear and interesting way. The plan is to fly to Vancouver for six nights, then by train to Banff for four nights, and drive the Icefields Parkway to Jasper staying four nights, Back to Banff for three then Calgary to fly home, so this guide has been invaluable, thank you so much.

Hey Michael!
Thank you so much for the kind words! We always love to hear that our travel guides are being put to good use and helping others plan their holiday.
Sounds like you have a really good trip coming up. I have always wanted to take the train from Vancouver to Banff, the trip looks so amazing.
I will mention though that we just published a new blog on Canmore. Canmore is only 45 minutes from Banff but outside the national park. Despite this, there is still so much to do there and a great option, if you want to spend time in another small mountain town that is cheaper than Banff. You can check it out in the blog section on our website!
Once again thank you! It's messages like this that make blogging so rewarding!
