Banff is a completely unique destination in itself: the entire township is located within the Banff National Park. The result is a community that’s as friendly to the many travelers who stop through as it is to the surrounding environment. The result is also a carefully limited but always spectacular assortment of resorts, hotels and lodges. The prevailing theme here is mountain style – you’ll see a lot of earth tones, wood beams, stone and huge windows to take in the view. And some of these Banff accommodations have peculiar luxuries that caught our eyes. Here are our Top 10 Banff Hotels and Resorts!

If you need to slow down – really slow down and enjoy a classic Banff mountain getaway – Charlton’s Cedar Court is the place. Everything about this Banff resort hotel radiates alpine style, and the accommodations are luxurious and casually comfortable at the same time.

Part of this is because Charlton’s Cedar Court is outside of Banff itself, although it is just a ten-minute walk away. Whether you’re making the walk, unwinding at the resort or gaining anticipation for a Banff outdoor adventure, we’re sure you will truly appreciate the singular beauty of Banff National Park. That is, if you care to leave. Everything you need for a great Banff escape is here, including a range of luxury accommodations – we love the two-level loft fireplace suites – plus indoor mineral pools, a whirlpool and a steam room. This might sound romantic (hint, hint)…but there’s plenty here for a Banff family vacation as well. Kitchenette Suites provide two semi-private sleeping areas and a fully equipped efficiency kitchen.

Getting there

From Calgary International Airport, follow Barlow Trail to the 16th Avenue West exit and turn right onto 16th Ave. W. Remain on 16th Ave. W. through Calgary until it becomes the Trans-Canada Highway 1. Continue west on Trans-Canada Highway 1 through the park gates to the exit for the town of Banff. Enter Banff via the Lake Minnewanka Exit and turn left onto Banff Avenue. Take Banff Ave. to 513 Banff Avenue. Charlton’s Cedar Court will be on the right.

Fun facts
