Mount Royal Hotel

The Mount Royal Hotel has been a Banff landmark since it opened in 1908. After its recent renovation, it’s also an oasis of luxury in the heart of downtown. The location—right on Banff Avenue—still can’t be beat. Top restaurants, shops and nightlife are just steps away, or you can dine at Brazen, the hotel restaurant. Brazen serves up contemporary takes on classic cocktails and local flavours, all set against decor that nods to the hotel’s heritage while indulging guests in modern comfort. When it’s time to relax, head for the lobby library to read up on local history or soak in the rooftop hot tub and take in the mountain scenery. Guests can also visit the Cascade Lounge for cocktails, wine and local craft beer. Happy hour is the perfect way to unwind after a day on the trails or slopes.
