Midnight Swim Delight

“I absolutely loved the pool at Banff Park Lodge! It was open until midnight, which is perfect for a night owl like me. I appreciated the adults-only policy after 9 PM, allowing for a peaceful swim without kids splashing around. The pool was well-maintained, making it a good spot to unwind after a day of exploring.” view full review

Delicious Italian Cuisine

“During my stay, I had the chance to dine at the hotel's Italian restaurant. The pasta I ordered was simply delicious! The combination of flavors was impressive, and the wine selection complemented the meal perfectly. It was one of the highlights of my trip, and I highly recommend trying the dishes served at the lounge.” view full review

I've returned to Banff Park Lodge for 14 years, and it never disappoints! The views of the mountains are stunning, and the staff always go the extra mile, making each stay exceptional. While the hotel is ideally located for a quiet retreat just outside of town, I found some imperfections in the dining services that could be improved. Overall, it's a wonderful place, but guests might want to manage expectations around food service and options.

My stay at the cabin was extraordinary! The hosts, Malcolm and Sharon, made us feel incredibly special with their thoughtful touches and amazing breakfasts. The cabin was rustic yet cozy, perfect for a romantic getaway, though the mattress could use some updating for a better night's sleep. It's conveniently located for exploring the breathtaking Rocky Mountains, but some modernization would enhance the overall experience.

I had a wonderful stay at the Banff Log Cabin, which is the perfect blend of charm and comfort. The hosts, Sharon and Malcolm, made us feel right at home with their warm hospitality and delicious breakfasts. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to many beautiful sites in Banff. However, while the cabin is cozy and well-maintained, the quiet ambiance might not be ideal for those wanting more nightlife. Overall, I would highly recommend it for a peaceful getaway.

Overall, it was decent value for money, though some aspects dampened the overall enjoyment of the stay.
