Banff basecamp with cozy après vibes

    Hot tubs, cold plunge, and barrel sauna make post-hike recovery easy.

The hotel had very clean, very comfortable rooms. It’s in a decent location, but about a 10 min walk to most of the downtown stuff. I loved the garage parking. We were on motorcycles, and having them covered and away from the public was huge. The staff couldn’t have been friendlier, and the breakfast was awesome.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Canalta! The location was perfect; just outside the main strip and much quieter but was an easy walk to anywhere downtown. If we didn’t feel like walking the bus stop was right outside the hotel. The staff was so friendly and helpful and breakfast was great daily! We would definitely stay here again

Great hotel on the outskirts of Banff. Easy walk into town but nice restaurants nearby in the surrounding hotels (check out Suddenly Sally at Hotel Canoe). Good breakfast included each morning and they also have a small deli/coffee shop/bar in the lobby. They also have a s’mores bar every afternoon!! Parking is in garage below the hotel which was convenient but another $20 per day. Overall a great spot!
