Royal Canadian Lodge is a comfortable upscale hotel in a great location on Banff Avenue, with the ski shuttles stopping right outside the lodge. It’s a good winter option with spacious rooms, some featuring fireplaces, and an indoor mineral pool, hot tub and steam room which are perfect after a day skiing. There’s also the Evergreen Restaurant & Lounge on-site, plus heated underground parking and a fitness room. The centre of Banff is around a 10-minute walk away, so it’s easy to get into town while still having a quieter feel.
