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.

Clean, recently renovated, has great coffee shop on main floor, excellent breakfast, really close to the shops and restaurants of Banff, great staff, and more!
Needed better dusting.

I greatly enjoyed the spacious showers. I wish they told me about the sauna.
And I wish they dusted the bathroom lights and vent
Great hotel

One of the worst hotels we have ever been to and trust me I have been to many, the staff attitude at reception is sad they don’t know the meaning of hospitality, house keeping is the worst ever even after complaining for it once the next day it was worst and we get a reply that coke speak to manager tomorrow our cleaning policy is only of beds.…

We had a twin double bed room, the design was awesome. Almost like having two individual rooms with two sinks and the bathroom in the middle creating the distinction. Comfy beds, warm rooms. Sauna and hot tub available and was used daily by people from what we could see. Easy to park, free parking, breakfast included and it’s a decent breakfast…

We had a twin double bed room, the design was awesome. Almost like having two individual rooms with two sinks and the bathroom in the middle creating the distinction. Comfy beds, warm rooms. Sauna and hot tub available and was used daily by people from what we could see. Easy to park, free parking, breakfast included and it’s a decent breakfast hot and continental. I use natural shampoos and conditioners etc at home but I really didn’t like the ones they used. They didn’t smell nice and left my hair still looking greasy. The bathroom is rather small but the extra space is given to the room I’d argue. We’d absolutely stay here again. It really suited our needs.
