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.

We stayed one night. We had a very quiet room in a section of the building adjacent to another building. No view but very quiet. Parking was included in the underground parkade.

We stayed one night. We had a very quiet room in a section of the building adjacent to another building. No view but very quiet. Parking was included in the underground parkade. This would be very nice in the winter. Upon arrival we were given a complimentary voucher for 2 glasses f wine at farm and fire. Breakfast for 2 was also included and you could order anything on the menu. To get these deals we booked directly with the hotel. It was a great deal. I had steak and eggs and my wife had eggs Benedict. The beds were extremely comfortable however I found the pillows high. Small bathroom but nice deep tub with shower. Would definitely stay again.

Parking was awful. When I called about parking issues, they told me to just go find parking elsewhere. Very rude customer service. No house cleaning at all due to covid. I called and requested more towels and face clothes. Took over 30 mins to receive. 1st time they did not bring the face clothes, I had to ask multiple times before I received what I needed. I also asked the front desk where I could get food delivered to my room from, the front desk was not knowledgeable in this area at all . When I called about booking a room I asked if the hotel has a hot tub, they said "yes". Never informed me it was closed because of covid 19. Found out jot tub was closed after checking in (very disappointed). Read less

We had an excellent stay for 3D/2N and even got an upgraded room for my wife's 50th, staff were very accomodating. It was a bonus to have the restaurant Farm & Fire which served equally excellent meals. Highly recommended but you'll need to book early.

Nice large and clean room. Comfortable bed. Did not hear any noise outside. Right in downtown. The superstore is just a cross of the road if you need to buy some groceries, etc. Check in and out was quick and easy.
