From ultra-luxurious to unbelievably cozy, the perfect room awaits you
Town of Banff
The town of Banff is the central hub for the majority of visitors coming to Banff National Park. In all directions you’re surrounded by strikingly beautiful and rugged mountains that seem to burst straight out of the ground.
Accommodation options run the gamut – from condos to castles, hostels to hotels. SkiBig3 Vacation Planners are here to help you find the perfect home-away-from-home to suit your budget and style.
Ski shuttles to all three resorts are both comfortable and convenient. Mt Norquay is just 10 minutes from town, Banff Sunshine 20 minutes and Lake Louise 45 minutes west of town.
Lake Louise
The hamlet of Lake Louise is located just off the Trans-Canada Highway (Hwy #1), 40 minutes west of the town of Banff. Lake Louise offers a variety of restaurant and accommodation options. Smaller and quieter than the town of Banff, you really feel immersed in the mountains and closer to nature.
The free ski shuttles to the Lake Louise Ski Resort are fast and convenient, taking only 10 minutes from the Lake, and 5 minutes from the village. Shuttles to Banff Sunshine are scheduled on specific days of the week.
Canmore
When arriving from the Calgary International Airport, your first stop in the Canadian Rockies is the mountain town of Canmore. Located just outside the east gate of Banff National Park, Canmore is a picturesque mountain town that won’t disappoint.
Canmore offers a multitude of condo-suite styled accommodation options. While community bus service runs between the town of Banff and Canmore, ski resorts are most easily accessed by personal vehicle.
What lodging style works for you

Enjoy wood burning fireplaces, full kitchens and patios or balconies, along with the privacy that comes with your home away from home.
Economy acommodations
Banff and Lake Louise both offer moderate hotel style accommodations at affordable prices year round. Clean, comfortable rooms, combined with our legendarily warm, friendly atmosphere are sure to appeal to any budget conscious traveler.
Hotel accommodations
With dozens of options to choose from, many featuring amenities like pools, saunas and fireplaces, choosing the perfect Banff or Lake Louise hotel is easy. The Banff Caribou Lodge & Spa, with its hand hewn ambience, and Fox Hotel & Suites, with hot pool inspired by the original Cave and Basin Historic Site, are just two of many choices.
Lodge accommodations
Nothing captures the essence of the Canadian Rockies quite like our signature mountain lodges. Iconic names like Emerald Lake Lodge & Baker Creek Lodge conjure romantic images of tranquil forest getaways surrounded by pristine wilderness. Serious powder-hounds flock to the Sunshine Mountain Lodge, Banff’s only ski-in, ski-out hotel in the heart of Banff Sunshine Village.
