The hotel

They may call themselves a ‘base camp’, but that’s definitely only in spirit — not in style. Thanks to its location, Banff Aspen Lodge is favoured by those wanting to pitch up and experience all the attractions of this popular ski and spa town, from its snow sports to its famous hot springs. But its style is far from ‘base camp’. Smart and swanky, its rustic-meets-chic décor is matched by a series of extra touches that make an ‘outdoorsy’ holiday uncharacteristically comfortable, like complimentary WiFi, ski and bike storage, the coffee and cake-stocked Whitebark Café, and a steam room and sauna for soothing adventure-weary muscles. You can start your day filling up at the breakfast buffet, with its local bacon and sausages and home-baked treats. And you can end it in an outdoor hot tub with a crackling fireplace.

The premier room was very comfortable, light and airy, well equipped and very central. We arrived on Canada Day so had a first class view of the parade. The staff at the breakfast were quick and efficient with the usual buffet style choices. The little cafe in the foyer was great for coffee (the best we’ve had so far in Canada) and snacks

Just spent 4 nights here and had a great time. The hotel is lovely, our room was amazing and the staff are very helpful and friendly. Breakfast is included and has plenty variety. Would definitely recommend. The location is perfect with lovely views, very central but quietly down the road from the busy area.

Great location & good size rooms. Hot tub was great & the coffee shop in reception area was great. Had everything we needed for our stay in Banff. Only down side was we were put n an accessibility room so the shower was more of a wet room so we had to use lots of towels to dry the floor.
