The hotel

Elk + Avenue delivers on contemporary style, without sacrificing the mountain lodge feel those bound for Banff seek. Dressed with Rocky Mountain inspired details, rustic meets high-polish with rough cut timber, cosy seating, and the odd touch of faux fur. Its indulgences aren’t all decorative though, and alongside its downtown location, it gives you complimentary WiFi and parking, and a sauna and hot tub. At the forefront of Banff’s dining scene, Ricky’s All Day Grill is among the most popular in this ski-side town, with its big breakfasts and all-day diner classics drawing in hungry locals and travellers. It takes its après-ski seriously too, with the seasonal drink selections and twilight menu of RG’s Lounge best enjoyed around its toasty fireplace, in front of the plasma TVs, or on the patio watching the world pass by.

Several deficiencies in the room, for $359/night I had high expectations, felt at though the room should have been priced at $99. After contacting the front desk they adjusted our rate, but I would have preferred a better experience at a different property.

The hotel had a very reasonable price considering location and look of it. The hotel seemed all renovated and had a very good restaurant. The rooms all looked new and it had underground parking which was a big plus!

Awesome place to stay. Conveniently located downtown of Banff. Everything is within walking distance. Good customer service. Rooms are exactly what it looks like on the photos from the website. Nice and clean rooms, comfortable beds.

Enjoyed a wonderful stay at the Elk and Avenue. The location was fantastic, close to shops, restaurants and amenities. The service was very friendly. The Hotel was very clean and safe. I wish we spent more time in Banff.
