Top Downtown District Hotel Reviews

Moose Hotel And Suites

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in a rooftop two bedroom suite. Very nice. Clean, Easy accessible. The lobby area is very welcoming with a great smell from the woodfire fireplace. The hot pools were enjoyable. Hotel is in a great location and within walking distance of all the local shops and restaurants."

Banff Park Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"I found the hotel to be of a good standard in a Fabulous location. Everything is walkable from the hotel and the underground parking is great. Hotel is currently being renovated which lead to the 4 instead of 5 stars for cleanliness as it's getting a lot of work. Pool hot tub steam rooms all great.i would definitely stay here again."

Banff Caribou Lodge and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"This is my third time staying here, and I loved it just as much as the first time. The rooms are well maintained, clean, and the beds are great. The communal hot tub with jets + sauna is excellent after a long hike in the mountains. They don’t have a free breakfast included, but they make up for it with the complimentary Roam bus passes. All in all, very happy with what we get in exchange for the price. Looking forward to coming back again."

Brewster Mountain Lodge

8/10 Good

"Great place to stay if you want to be downtown. Very convenient to shopping and eating. Only downside is it was noisy the two nights we were there. The hotel does supply air buds, but still wasn’t enough to drown out the noise in the wee hours of the morning going on outside. Another night the people above us were moving around and talking loud (our room was 2nd floor) til about 3am. Caveat: I am a light sleeper, so if you are too, you may want to consider a place not as close to downtown area. Other than that, the hotel was clean and nice. Very friendly staff 👍"
