Overview

Steeped in over a century of history, the Mount Royal Hotel enjoys one of Banff's most sought-after locations. Situated in the heart of downtown, with a ski shuttle stop right outside, it's the perfect base for exploring the town and the spectacular Canadian Rockies.

Blending historic character with contemporary comfort, the hotel features charming original details, including antique windows and winding hallways that reflect its rich heritage. Guest rooms are stylishly appointed with modern furnishings, vibrant accents and a choice of Standard or Premium accommodation to suit a range of budgets.

When you're not making the most of the mountains, there's plenty to enjoy within the hotel itself. Relax with a book in the cosy library, or unwind in the rooftop lounge, where outdoor hot tubs offer the perfect place to soak while taking in the fresh mountain air.

Dining is a highlight of any stay. Brazen restaurant serves a delicious menu inspired by Canadian favourites, from perfectly cooked steaks to slow-cooked ribs. Complete your evening with one of the restaurant's signature cocktails for a memorable après-ski experience.

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.
