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.

My friend and I spent 2 nights at the Elk and Avenue hotel in Banff (July 2-4). Overall our experience was great! There was some minimal cleanliness issues (dusty fan, shorts found under the side table) nothing that we felt warranted complaint as we used the room mostly for sleeping and showering and those amenities were clean! Location was incredible - just a crosswalk away from the main shopping street. Parking was underground and secure. We booked directly through the hotel site and had received 2 free drink vouchers for the attached restaurant and bar (Farm and Fire). The drinks and food were AMAZING. The rooms have been updated and modernized, bathroom was beautiful. With COVID happening they have hand sanitizer at the front door, will not clean your room unless otherwise requested and have contactless check out. Would definitely stay again! Read less

We had the loft unit #326 and had virtually no noise from elevator/ice machine/neighbors/or street. Couldn't have been more perfect. We are extremely happy and will be back soon. Read less

I enjoy visiting Banff and staying at the Elk and Avenue. The staff is friendly, the rooms are modern and clean. The new restaurant is much better than it used to be. There are lots of gathering areas in the lobby and the underground parking is clean and warm.

Excellent location, can't get any better if you are in town! The lobby is very clean and well presented. We didn't get to use any of the amenities due to Covid, but the staff were very pleasant and we got to use the voucher towards the Banff Gondola which the travel agency arranged for us. The on site restaurant is really good, highly recommend… Read more

The on site restaurant is really good, highly recommend and also nice to use the 15% discount for hotel guests. A very good stay, rooms are pretty average. Read less
