"Our favorite restaurant in Banff with a great atmosphere and high-quality farm-to-table food. They have a seasonal menu and won several national awards in Canada for exceptional service. It’s well known as the best spot in Banff for brunch on Sundays."

"This is one of the fancier restaurants in town and it does not disappoint. It’s been years since we’ve made it back here but I still remember the maple-glazed salmon and the super creamy mashed potatoes. If you’re looking for an upscale restaurant in the heart of Banff, this is one of the top options."

"A Canadian cuisine experience of the upscale variety housed in an après-ski-influenced setting. It is well known for its focus on all-Canadian products, from British Columbia salmon to Alberta bison and maritime lobster."

"The Maple Leaf Grill and Lounge has a warm mountain atmosphere with a lot of Canadian Inspired dishes. They use local Canadian ingredients such as an Alberta beef ribeye and or maple dijon B.C."

"The Juniper Hotel is a small hotel just outside of Banff Town, surrounded by mountains and woodland. It is not uncommon to have wildlife sightings around the Juniper Hotel even though it is just a 25-minute walk from the center of Banff Town. The hotel has 52 rooms and plenty of handy amenities, like bike rentals on site, an activity planning desk, and an outdoor hot tub."

"Outdoor hot tub, onsite restaurant with amazing gourmet food and reviews, mountain views, all rooms have a mini-fridge. Without a doubt, the Juniper Hotel has the best views in all of Banff. Set at the base of Mt Norquay only a couple of minutes from town, this peaceful hotel offers mountain views from every window and balcony."

"Overlooking Banff, on Juniper Way, The Juniper Hotel Bistro is ideally situated for an après drink on the way back from Mount Norquay. Cocktails are made using local ingredients, the wine list is all Canadian, and local craft beer features too."

"A haven of relaxation, next door to Banff’s Upper Hot Springs, The Rimrock Resort Hotel marries modern comforts with all the charm of a Rockies retreat. Clean architectural lines and dark wooden furnishings give rooms a sense of sophistication, with added luxury in the form of Zents Laszlo amenities, Bose Bluetooth speaker systems and signature welcome gifts. Take advantage of the hotel’s complimentary bus service to downtown Banff and its ski connector service when heading to the slopes."

"The Rimrock Resort Hotel highlights the best feature of Banff National Park: the view. However, it’s also classified luxury for a reason. Guests have access to two restaurants, two lounges, a swimming pool and hot tub, fitness center and a stellar on-site spa (go for the facial!)."

"Set within Banff National Park, this hotel is close to hot springs, stunning views and hiking trails. It has a range of wellness amenities including a sauna, Jacuzzi and an indoor swimming pool. This four-star hotel has spacious rooms with luxurious facilities."

"Renovated just a few years ago, Buffalo Mountain Lodge’s Sleeping Buffalo Dining Room feels like it’s a world away from Banff’s bustling main street. The food is upscale Canadiana with plenty of offerings from Canadian Rocky Mountain Resorts’ game ranch. This is also the place for wine lovers — the restaurant’s wine list has won several awards, thanks to its curated selections of both international and Canadian wines."

"If you want to be in the heart of the action of Banff proper Buffalo Mountain Lodge is a great choice for a hotel in Banff. Situated just minutes from downtown, Buffalo Mountain Lodge offers free shuttles for guests to go out for dinner, drinks or downtown shopping. We loved building a fire in our room as we overlooked our Rocky Mountain view."

"Slightly off the beaten path, the restaurant at the Buffalo Mountain Lodge is a nice escape from downtown. The food is traditional Albertan fair with an upscale twist. Think local bison with pickled melon."

"Storm Mountain Lodge has some of the best cabins in Banff National Park. If you’re a true outdoor lover who enjoys the experience of removing yourself from everyone and everything, a cabin in the forest offers a true outdoor escape, and Storm Mountain Lodge has one that’ll meet all your backcountry needs. Situated halfway between Banff town and Lake Louise, the remote location of this lodge means you are far from the crowds but close to the things that matter most – mountains, forests, and stunning beauty."

"Double check the hours as this place isn’t open everyday, but if you’re in Banff when it is, GO. With a focus on local or sustainable Canadian food, you will absolutely find something you love. Don’t be surprised that when your food comes out it looks like a piece of art!"

"The inside is clean, with lots of charm, and the bedding is soft and comfortable. It has a cozy living space for the family to enjoy. Soak in the hot tub after a day of activities exploring Golden."

"It can be incredibly annoying at times when a restaurant offers only one or two vegan options that you’re stuck with and probably wouldn’t usually choose. We’ve all been there, gazing at the menu trying to drum up excitement over the third mushroom burger you’ve eaten this week. Luckily, Parks Distillery and Earls Kitchen + Bar both offer kick-ass plant-based menus."

"Earl’s Banff 299 Banff Avenue (403) 762-4414 11:30am til late. Earl’s is always reliable for good meal. Their menu has burgers, pizza, pasta and other creative entrées, salads and appetizers."
