Overview
The Fox Hotel & Suites is a charming mountain-style property just outside downtown Banff, offering easy access to the slopes via a complimentary ski bus. Its rustic lodge character is evident throughout, from the stone and red-wood exterior to the cosy interiors featuring warm lighting, leather seating and dark wood furnishings.
The spacious rooms and suites provide a comfortable retreat after a day in the mountains, with Mountain Luxury beds ensuring a restful night’s sleep. Suites also include living areas and kitchen nooks, ideal for relaxing and storing snacks and drinks.
Guests can start the day with a hearty breakfast buffet, while the on-site Chili’s restaurant serves Tex-Mex favourites including burgers, ribs, quesadillas and fajitas. After dinner, unwind with a homemade margarita or catch the latest ice hockey action on the large screen.
The hotel’s unique Cave & Basin-inspired hot pool is the perfect place to relax, complemented by a dry sauna and fitness room. Guests can also enjoy treatments at the nearby Red Earth Spa at Banff Caribou Lodge, with charges conveniently added to your Fox Hotel & Suites room.

About Banff
Ski your way through three incredible resorts around Banff, with 362 runs spread across 7,748 acres of terrain. Regular free ski buses connect you to Sunshine Village, Lake Louise and Mount Norquay, with scenic journeys lasting around 15 to 45 minutes. Keep your eyes peeled as you travel through the forest – you might spot local wildlife, including moose and bighorn sheep. On the slopes, expect legendary light powder and terrain for all abilities. Beginners can build confidence on gentle, wide-open runs at Sunshine Village, while experienced skiers can explore Lake Louise’s famous back bowls or chase fresh powder at Mount Norquay.
Founded in 1883 after railway workers discovered the area’s natural hot springs, Banff has grown into a lively mountain town while keeping its welcoming local character. Today, its charming main street is packed with shops, cafés and saloon-style bars where you can relax with a drink and catch a game of ice hockey after a day on the mountain. With most accommodation offered on a room-only or bed and breakfast basis, you’ll also have the freedom to explore the town’s fantastic restaurants, from Alberta steak houses to spots serving fresh Pacific seafood.
Surrounded by the spectacular landscapes of Canada’s first national park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Banff offers unforgettable scenery at every turn. Take a walk through Johnston Canyon to discover icy cliffs, caves and frozen waterfalls, or relax in the famous Banff Upper Hot Springs – the natural springs that helped put the town on the map.
