Banff Where to Stay
• A WorldWeb.com Travel Guide to Where to Stay in Banff, Alberta.
Choosing Accommodation in Banff
A stay in the mountains may inspire visions of sleeping under the stars in a tent surrounded by towering pines, or wrapped snug inside a cozy, rustic cabin. The truth is, the famous Rocky Mountain town of Banff accommodates its millions of yearly visitors in a vast range of lodgings, including hotels, bed and breakfasts and hostels, as well as the quintessential campgrounds and cabins.
Vacancies are scarce during the summer high season (June to September) and peak winter ski season (December to March) so it is wise to make reservations even months in advance. Note that properties also tend to increase their rates during these busy tourist times. Because the town of Banff is located within Banff National Park, a park pass must be purchased in order to visit. These can be obtained from park entrances on the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1).
CABINS & CAMPGROUNDS
For those keen to experience a "wild" night in the Rocky Mountains, there are campgrounds located at Castle Mountain, Two Jack Lake, Tunnel Mountain and Johnston Canyon. These seasonal campgrounds are generally open May through September. Most (but not all) offer basic amenities such as flush toilets, showers, sani-dump facilities and fire pits. Reservations can be made for Tunnel Mountain campsites—which are the most convenient to the townsite—but the rest are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Step the luxury up a notch yet still enjoy an authentic stay in the woods in one of the area's cozy cabins. From simple lodgings like seasonal backcountry log cabins for hikers and cross-country skiers at Brewster's Shadow Lake Lodge to rustically elegant hideaways such as Storm Mountain Lodge's heritage-style cabins complete with stone fireplaces, clawfoot tubs and down duvets, visitors will find a variety of options located west of the township off Bow Valley Parkway and Highway 1.
