If you want to go on vacation to Banff National Park, there are a lot of hotels where you can stay. In this article, you’ll find a comprehensive overview of most accommodations in the park and Canmore. This way you can easily compare them and quickly make the right choice.
Before you start comparing hotels at all (see the tables below), it’s good to know that you need to have quite a hefty budget if you want to spend your vacation in Banff National Park. Expect well over CAD 250 per night in summer. These kinds of prices even apply to simple hotels.
Because Banff National Park is very touristy, I recommend you book in time (months in advance). You usually still have plenty of choice and prices are sometimes a bit more favorable than if you book a few days or weeks in advance.
At the same time I can imagine that you don’t want to fix your whole vacation in advance. In that case, you will have to book a room on the spot. Keep in mind that your choice will be limited. You sometimes will have to spend more on a hotel than you would like.
Availability of Hotel Rooms
According to the Banff Municipal website, the townsite has approximately 3,700 hotel rooms. The occupancy rate is estimated at 2.1 to 2.9 people per room. So at a 90 percent occupancy rate, we are talking about a hotel population of 7,500 (!) guests.
In addition, Banff has a large campground on Tunnel Mountain. This is – of course – not included in the overview.
Cheap Accommodation
If your budget isn’t too big and you still want to stay overnight in the park, you can book a hostel. Although cheap may not be the right word here either. In high season, the prices for a hostel are easily equal to those of an average hotel outside the park. But you often pay considerably less than in the hotels in Banff. Click the link if you want to know why hotel rooms in Banff are so expensive.
Keep in mind that you share your room and bathroom with other guests in a hostel. Although in most hostels you can also book a private room and private bathroom for two people. In that case, the price you will pay will be close to that of a hotel room.
As far as hostels are concerned, you have quite a bit of choice. Even cheaper accommodation is also possible, but in that case you are dependent on a campground. If you want to know more about campgrounds, read this extensive post about campgrounds in Banff National Park.
The Hotel Overview
In the overview below, you’ll find comparisons of hotels in Banff, Lake Louise, Canmore and the other hotels in the park. In total, I have listed 165 accommodations. The overview is not complete but most of them have been included so you are guaranteed to find a place to stay that suits your needs.
The advantage of the overview is that you can make your choice based on average reviews. It also enables you to see at a glance whether the hotel has a swimming pool, air conditioning or a gym, to name but a few.
It would take me too far to list all hotel facilities. So the ones on the list are the facilities that many people will typically base their choice on.
Hotels in Harvie Heights, a hamlet on the Trans-Canada Highway, just north of Canmore, can be found in the list for Canmore. The same goes for the hotels in Dead Man’s Flats.
Findings from the Comparisons
By comparing the hotels in the survey, I can state that all hotels are smoke-free. All accommodations also have (usually free) parking facilities and (free) wifi. People who want to bring their pet have a reasonably wide range of choices and people with physical disabilities can go to quite a few places.
Accommodations for the Disabled
Visitors who have difficulty walking and/or use wheelchairs can stay at quite a few places, but this could be better.
One drawback, for example, is that many bed and breakfasts have stairs leading up to the front door. Many houses have basements with windows that protrude just above ground level in Canada. As a result, the first floor is built about a meter above ground level.
Unfortunately, in quite a few instances I have not been able to determine whether the accommodation is wheelchair-friendly. If that is the case for a particular accommodation, you will find it in the overview. It’s probably a good idea to contact the accommodation about this before booking.
If you want to read more about possibilities for disabled persons or persons who are physically challenged I recommend reading the post How accessible is Banff for Disabled Persons.
Staying in Luxury in Banff
If you want to stay in luxury in Banff, then the Fairmont Banff Springs, the Rimrock Resort and the Fairmont Château Lake Louise stand out. You’ll need a hefty budget for spending a night in one of these top level hotels. In addition, you also pay for parking. This is free at all other accommodations.
There are other luxury hotels, but the above three are the best-known and most prominent in the park.
Location of Accommodations
The vast majority of accommodations in the Banff townsite are located in the town center or at least within walking distance of the center. This is quite convenient, especially if you want to have a drink in a restaurant or bar in the evening.
The same applies to many hotels in Lake Louise and Canmore. This is different for the accommodations in the fourth overview, ‘remote accommodations’, because it is often the only accommodation in the area. If you book a room there, a car is more or less mandatory to be able to get there.
In the overview you will also find the (walking) distance to the center (in the overviews for Banff, Canmore and Lake Louise). This is useful if you want to make sure that your hotel of choice has a good location.
Fantastic Views when Waking up
Who wouldn’t want to wake up to a beautiful view? In Banff National Park you’re guaranteed to be able do just that. Of course, some hotels are better situated than others. If you want a nice view from your hotel room, check with your preferred hotel before booking.
You usually pay a premium for such a room. Still, in the park it is not that important. Nature in Banff is omnipresent. You only have to go outside to see and experience nature.
The Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel and the Rimrock Resort Hotel are highly recommended for the best views. In Banff town you can also expect to see a lot of beauty from the Juniper Hotel, the Bow View Lodge, the Banff Park Lodge Resort Hotel and the Hidden Ridge Resort.
The Château Lake Louise in Lake Louise stands out, but the Moraine Lake Lodge and Num-Ti-Jah Lodge also offer fantastic views, just to name a few.

Well-Known Hotel Chains
If you like to know what to expect, then booking a hotel room in a hotel of a well-known hotel chain can be a good idea.You won’t find many famous (international) hotel chains in Banff National Park. There are four:
- Best Western
- Holiday Inn
- Super 8
- Fairmont
Explanation of the Tables
In the overviews below, you will find four comparison tables. Each table includes the same number of variables, eleven in total.
For the average rating, I used the information from Google. This is displayed on a scale from 1 to 5. I have used a lower limit of one hundred reviews for all hotels to give an actual average. If an accommodation has less than one hundred ratings, you will find a dash in the overview.
