Top Lodges in Banff (2026)

Rundlestone Lodge

Set in the Canadian Rockies, Banff is surrounded by mountains, lakes, and hiking trails. Its lodges range from family-run cabins to modern hotels with big views. We have narrowed the choice down to our favourite couple. They offer fireplaces, hot tubs, and pools, while on-site restaurants serve everything from hearty local dishes to Italian cuisine. Whether you’re hitting the slopes, hiking alpine trails, or just enjoying the scenery, Banff's top lodges make a perfect base for adventure or a romantic escape.

For a family-friendly stay

Summer days are filled with hiking, biking, and kayaking, while winter brings skiing, snowshoeing, and sleigh rides.

For a romantic break

  • Tucked into the Rockies, Buffalo Mountain Lodge is perfect for couples seeking adventure and comfort.
