Banff Aspen Lodge

Banff, Alberta

Virgin rating

The hotel

They may call themselves a ‘base camp’, but that’s definitely only in spirit — not in style. Thanks to its location, Banff Aspen Lodge is favoured by those wanting to pitch up and experience all the attractions of this popular ski and spa town, from its snow sports to its famous hot springs. But its style is far from ‘base camp’. Smart and swanky, its rustic-meets-chic décor is matched by a series of extra touches that make an ‘outdoorsy’ holiday uncharacteristically comfortable, like complimentary WiFi, ski and bike storage, the coffee and cake-stocked Whitebark Café, and a steam room and sauna for soothing adventure-weary muscles. You can start your day filling up at the breakfast buffet, with its local bacon and sausages and home-baked treats. And you can end it in an outdoor hot tub with a crackling fireplace.

From the moment we walked in to the moment we left the service was excellent. Very friendly front desk. The rooms were very clean. We loved that the rooms had a separate living area. The complimentary breakfast was perfect. Something for everyone. Thank you so much. We will be back indefinitely.

Hotel itself is nice, the hot tub is relaxing. But the customer service was not good. Made the stay mediocre
