    We went to BML for two nights for our anniversary. Beautiful lodge and was nicely decorated for Christmas. Rooms are large and warm. Staff is friendly. Outdoor jacuzzi was awesome. I'm sure the location will be even better when the construction is all done, but for now there were construction fences everywhere which took away from the ambiance unfortunately. The room was beautiful but the fireplace area is a little cramped with the chairs and table. The bathroom features were also a little wonky and the shower door was difficult to shut. The sink handle was also very loose and we worried it may fall off. The restaurant in the lodge was good and had a hearty breakfast. Location is a little far from the town of Banff, but if you're open to the remoteness, it's beautiful. Very very short drive into town. We would stay agaib

    Very cozy atmosphere with delicious food. I came here with two other foodie friends, we were not disappointed. Our favorite: lamb shank. Wine selection was better than most. The steak was perfectly cooked medium-rare. One of our favorite meals this week!

    I stayed here for 4 nights with my boyfriend and it was the best experience. I looked at probably 20 different places to stay and we absolutely made the right choice. Beautiful rustic lodge with clean rooms and facilities. So romantic, too! Lovely wood burning fireplace. Amazingly helpful staff, great food, and a convenient shuttle. Our only problem was booking too short of a stay here! Can't wait to go back.

    This is the second time we stay at bml. We chose a premier room again on the upper floor for the vaulted wood ceilings. This lodge is in a great location with mountain views all around. Good trails behind it too. Service was very quick and friendly. Some rooms need some maintenance on little details like the faucet missing handle cap for example. Fireplace screen door was mangled and torn...Just some small stuff like that and nothing major. Make sure to visit the sleeping buffalo restaurant for an amazing meal.

    Hi-ya! Moose suites…read morewas a great hotel. It's super clean, good staff and next to the Roam transit and shopping areas. When you first walk in the lobby check in area is next to the large sitting area with a big fireplace that is hot enough to warm you but not make the place uncomfortable. The rooms are very well maintained and so are the walkways, fitness center, sauna, jacuzzis (2 large ones) and pool. The restaurant that is nothing the hotel we didn't eat at, but I ordered and old fashioned and it was good and strong, but no black cherry, but that was fine. The sauna was so clean and it felt great to warm up more in the mornings and relax in the jacuzzis after a hike in the evenings. The jets were powerful and the views from that area overlook the the mountains and the gondola an Norquay. This hotel was great, only one thing really, the laundry room at 2 washers and 2 dryers which were of good quality, but one was down. We stayed here for 6 days and i thought that was a good amount of time without it becoming too day to day feeling. 5 stars because we had a great time there AND they provided loaner bear sprays for all of us. I don't know if they can do it for everyone, but that saves you at lease 35 bucks for each spray that you can't take back in the flight if you do t use (and don't check bags). That was an amazing food convenience.

    Wonderful rooms right on the main hotel region. Absolutely wonderful spa and rooftop hot tub…read more Would stay here again for sure. 2 (very small) reasons it's not 5 star amazing: 1) Walking to and from hot tub outside was a bit challenging in frigid weather. I guess I'm not Canadian, and I got used to it, but having a bit more wind protection on the exterior walkways would have been nice - or warmer robes.... Not an issue in summer and not a huge deal in winter but worth knowing. 2) Restaurant isn't great. Mid level chain place. Much better options in town. Staff great loved the spacious rooms and ski lockers.

So he drove us into Banff NP. We stopped at Lake Louise, Johnston Canyon, Vermillion Lakes, the cascade falls, and then we began driving to the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel. What an absolutely beautiful hotel in one of Nature's most breathtaking masterpieces. The beautiful earth-toned cream colored hotel climbs from the lower mountain side and stands beautifully amongst the tall pines surrounding it. We made our way to the Vermillion Bar, where are post worked back in his college days, and were greeted by a super sweet server, Ayala, who lit up whenever she laughed and smiled with you. We enjoyed cocktails, beef, tartare, veggie Credit, charred, avocado, and a unique presentation of hot wings I've never had before - the actual wing that has two bones in it was pre-cut down the middle so you were served the 2 halves as their own individual wing. Great flavors and it was very unique and enjoyable. All of it was delicious and undeniably yummy, and fairly priced for such an elegant location. We were expecting a much higher price point and were delightfully surprised to see that even though it is a luxury location, it was not price gouging or ridiculously inflated that one often finds in so many other locations that are "elegant or nice". If you have the opportunity to treat yourself to a very beautiful sunset under the majestic Mount Rundle, and want to enjoy a modern setting in a historic landmark, this is absolutely a visit you must make while in Banff National Park. Thank you Ayala for treating us so well, and sharing your sweet Australian journey with us. Chris, David, Trisha, and Keith

There is a nearby bus stop too. I love all the amenities here. The hot tubs (they have two) are delightful and they also have a cold plunge pool. I did their cold plunge challenge, where they have a timer set for 3 minutes. I felt amazing afterwards! I love going back and forth between the hot tubs and cold plunge pool. They also have a sauna outside too. They offer free S'mores every day for happy hour, and supplies so you can roast your marshmallows by the fire pit outside. Lots of seating outside and I really enjoyed sitting outside and reading. They also offer board games to play and have a lot of indoor and outdoor seating, so many options of where you can be. They have a full bar with a nice selection. Delicious happy hour wine deals! I love their red wines. The food is really good here too. They have a really nice breakfast buffet and it's included with your room. Pancakes, eggs, sausage, yogurt, juices, pastries, and more. The bar serves snacks and other food throughout the day and evening. I really enjoyed their charcuterie board. So fresh and delicious. Our room/suite was very spacious. Two queen beds and a living room area with a sofa and fire place. The beds were pretty comfortable but not amazing. We had a microwave and refrigerator, and I loved the espresso machine. We also had a dining table. The bathroom had lovely shampoo, conditioner, and body wash from a local company. My only suggestion is that I wish we had more storage options to unpack our clothes. There were some hangers to hang a few items and there was 1 drawer in the nightstand. I wish we had a dresser. Excellent and friendly staff. I really enjoyed the vibe of this place. I would definitely stay here again.

You can probably ask them to bring it down for you but to save time upon check-out we brought the luggage down a flight of stairs. The room is spacious for two with the king bed. The bed, pillows, and comforter were plush. Slept easily every night. The view from the room is gorgeous especially with snow. I love how the lamps are step-on to turn on. The outlets are also easily accessible. The bathroom is a decent size. There's a clothesline in the shower you can use if needed. I like how the shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, and hand soap were from a 1% for the planet brand. There's a shuttle to downtown and back. Pick up and drop off is always at IGA which is easy to find. You just need to call or let the front desk know when you need the shuttle. I needed post cards to go out and was able to leave them with the front desk. If they get your outgoing mail during the week then it will go out the following week. I also borrowed a pen and a key card for when I locked myself out of my room. I highly recommend this hotel and will book again if I'm in town.

They have a fantastic staff who will offer you bear spray, walking sticks, umbrellas and help you with advice. Style here is historical mid century modern. Hot tub is large and very comfortable with a great view of the mountains and they supply a robe in your room. There is enough shelving in bathroom and the bar and restaurant is beautiful also with excellent views of the mountains. They have a fire pit and plenty of tables outdoors on the patio.

We came in late from our Rocky Mountaineer train ride that day and headed in to relax and go for some dinner. We ate in their beautiful lounge area (some food pictures attached) for a light bite at dinner. I did get an opportunity to stop by the Farmer's Market and took adnatage of the transportation system here. The room was perfect for a two night stay and the staff here was wonderful. It goes without saying that the views out the window were like every where else, spectacular. We were very busy and therefore did not have much time to enjoy the amenities of the hotel. It really was just for sleeping and eating. Overall, they did a great job! Dinner at the lounge, and a wonderful buffet breakfast. ( A few pictures are also attached.) They really take good care of their guests. I was so surprised to read some of the lower star reviews. Are we speaking about the same hotel here? I do not trust low star reviews when the reviewer also has a low amount of published reviews. This was a fun place and overall did an excellent job with their wonderful team.

Pro's Newly renovated with windows and doors that open into the courtyard. Grab a table and chairs and have a cozy little setup next to your room. The bathroom is large and clean and updated. Plenty of storage and higher quality finishes. A safe and closet and cubbies and chest of drawers. Check-in is self service and requires an app. Pour over coffee. Free, Off-street parking, on the edge of town. Near a gas station and a bus stop. Super quiet. Never heard another person even though the property was booked the entire time we were there. Cons Price for value is a bit steep but cheap for Banff overall The amenities are really at the Canoe hotel across the street. Laundry. Sauna. Hot pools. Coffee supplies. Restaurant. No early arrivals accommodated. Overall this is a fun spot and worth a recommendation.

Really, really love the designs of the rooms. They blend older, "your grandma's house" kind of bases with a bright, simple style. It's got a unique look that wouldn't seem to work on paper.. but man, they got it down pat here. Rooms were super clean (which is really the main thing I worry about with travel), and RIDICULOUSLY quiet, especially for being a couple shakes away from main street. Seriously, I forgot we even had neighbours. Not a peep of noise all night (on a friday, at that!). Our only real (and small) gripe was the temperature. Despite fiddling with the room heating, it was always just a little chilly. But we had a tall roof, a big window, and perhaps not the best "fiddling" knowledge. All in all, not a big deal :) This place was cute, sweet, cozy and clean. Almost makes you feel kinda bad about wanting to stay in your room the whole day while beautiful banff is waiting outside. (lol) I never thought I'd learn to find forest-floor laminate charming. But here we are.
