Top Downtown District Hotel Reviews

Northwinds Hotel Canmore

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente localización, nos encanto."

Fairmont Banff Springs

10/10 Excellent

"We and our pets had the most spectacular stay at this hotel. If you have the chance to book Gold status it makes all the difference. The staff and facilities were amazing. Yes the bathrooms are on the small side as this is a UNESCO property so there were limitations in how they could be designed. But everything else was phenomenal. There are so many people we want to thank from Hamish in the valet who greeted us by name! to Chamath, Caitlin, Katie, Georgia, Chris(also in valet) , Olivier, Shane and the best housekeeper Howard! We look forward to coming to visit Banff again as it is truly one of the most spectacular places to go!"

Peaks Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Peaks Hotel & Suites was just enough for what we needed for this trip. The front desk staff were warm and helpful, and a special shout-out to Rona for keeping our room immaculate and making our anniversary feel truly celebrated. We didn't end up utilizing the amenities at the sister property…between ongoing construction and the spaces feeling a bit uninviting, we skipped the dining, gym, and pool areas entirely. However, our stay at Peaks was wonderful, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time in Banff!"

The Fox Hotel and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, room was clean and gave the 4 of us enough space, loved the separate sitting area. Gentleman at front desk (sorry can’t remember his name), was exceptional! Anything we needed, he was always so helpful and friendly!!! Quick to give us suggestions in the area, and just any tips advice we asked for. We were heading out one night for dinner and he ran to the back and grabbed 2 umbrellas for us and said we will definitely need them, without us even asking for one. Such a kind and warm gentleman!!!"
