Top Downtown District Hotel Reviews

Peaks Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Small but modern and clean room. V comfortable. Very convenient to everything in Banff. Front desk staff helped us out a lot."

Fairmont Banff Springs

10/10 Excellent

"This is a splurge, but I really enjoy the Fairmont. Staff is very nice. Spa is one of my favorites if you take advantage of the 3 hours before or after in the thermal pool/relaxation areas, golf is amazing but oh so pricey, food in delicious, rooms are beautiful but very small, especially the bathroom. This being our second visit in ten years maintains the quality and experience are lovely, and why we will likely return ten years from now :)"
