Best Spas in Canmore

"Banff Upper Hot Springs is the perfect place to relax after a day on the hiking or ski trails. Visitors have been coming to this Banff attraction since the 1880s to bask in the therapeutic mineral waters, though First Nations were doing that long before the railroad opened up this section of Canada; the native people considered the hot springs a sacred place. Banff Upper Hot Springs is the highest in Canada."

"These hot springs are a short drive from the town of Banff on the side of Sulphur Mountain. Water in the springs bubble to the surface from 1.8 miles deep in the crust. The temperature of the spring water varies through the year and can reach 116 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter."

"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!)."

"One of the best places to stay in Banff is the Royal Canadian Lodge.

The boutique hotel is home to the Evergreen Restaurant and Lounge, where you can enjoy fine dining with extensive wine offerings and locally-inspired cuisine."

"You’ll also find various accommodations in town and for this visit, we’re staying at Moose Hotel and Suites - a new upscale 4 star property that provides a warm & relaxing getaway just a few blocks away from Downtown Banff. The hotel features traditional rooms and suites that have kitchenettes and everything you’d need for a comfortable stay. There’s also an indoor pool, two roof-top outdoor pools and, for further pampering, there's Meadow Spa + Pools, offering a full range of services and access to a private outdoor hot pool."

You can also take a dip in their private outdoor hot pool to relax for a complete spa experience. They offer a unique spa retreat for men that features a 60-minute therapeutic massage and a Refinery Facial."

"After an afternoon of exploration, wind down at Cedar & Sage Co., a massage therapy and relaxation spa hidden away in Downtown Banff. It’s actually Banff’s only holistic lounge and in addition to a wide range of treatments, they offer nutrition consultations, yoga classes, and a juice bar."

"Escape to a mountain oasis at Cedar & Sage Co., Banff's only holistic lounge. Located in the heart of downtown Banff, this relaxation spa specializes in massage therapy and also offers acupuncture, yoga, reiki, and more."

"They boast of offering spa services at some of the best prices that you can find in the rather expensive town of Banff and have about twenty-five years’ worth of history to show for it. The location only adds to the brilliant experience that the mountain spa offers and the rooftop 360-degree view of the Canadian Rockies are best enjoyed with a beverage that you can get right there. They offer all sorts of services, including massages, facials, hair removals, body wraps, manicures, and pedicures, so that their customers leave feeling like the best version of their physical self."

"Enjoy high-end details at every turn, with a stay at Solara Resort & Spa. This hotel’s collection of one-, two- and three-bedroom suites feature fully equipped gourmet kitchens with cork flooring, oversized windows that bathe the space in natural light, and crackling fireplaces. Don’t leave without visiting the Aurora Theatre — Canmore’s only cinema where complimentary movies are shown nightly."

"OK, you can get Tim Hortons virtually anywhere in Canada, and Banff is no different. It’s nothing special, but it is a great way to get some quick breakfast on the move without having to sit down. The other great thing is that on a normal year, it opens at 5am, which is perfect if you’re up early to catch a sunrise but need a little coffee and snack to pick you up first."

"It’s a typical Tim Horton’s like any other you’ll will find across the country. Like many Tim Horton’s it can be quite busy. Along with their original servings of coffee and donuts they have sandwiches, wrap, soups and a variety of breakfast options."

"The scenic blue Lake Minnewanka has much to offer the outdoors recreationalist: hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing and booing. Winter activities include cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. It is a nature photographer’s dream, with gorgeous scenery and an abundance of wildlife, including deer, bears, mountain sheep and elk."

"Close to Two Jack Lake, Lake Minnewanka has been used by the First Nations Communities 10,000 years ago. Facing north, it's a very popular place to view the Aurora Borealis. My favourite views are the ones of Mount Inglismaldie."

"Sulphur Mountain overlooks the Town of Banff and while some may choose to hike it, we are taking the Banff Gondola. With boardwalks and observation decks at an elevation of over 2,000m, Sulphur Mountain is the perfect spot to take in the incredible beauty of the Rocky Mountains. You can learn more at the Above Banff interpretive centre, which also houses two spots to eat: the Northern Lights Cafe for more casual fare, and Sky Bistro - a sanctuary in the sky."

"The discovery of this natural hot spring on Sulphur Mountain, and desire to protect it, led to the creation of Banff National Park. Inside the cave you can admire the sparkling turquoise waters, while outside you can see a steaming thermal water basin."

"After exploring the Banff town, head to the Sulphur mountains. The Banff Sightseeing Gondola is located 5 minutes from the Town of Banff."
