The location couldn’t be better—just by the river and few minutes from the heart of town, making it perfect for exploring the town. What stood out the most was the exceptionally warm and helpful staff. I would highly recommend this place if anyone is looking for convenience, comfort, and excellent service in Banff!

Winter Overnight Getaway

We did the tourist thing; checking out Banff; the historic district The challenge was that the swimming pool was in the building next door and we had to walk outside in the cold across the road and parking lot. Other than that it was excellent!

Our stay at the Bow View Lodge was absolutely delightful! We were thrilled to be upgraded to a room with a king-size bed and a breathtaking view of the mountains. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and cared for. Toby, the receptionist, was incredibly kind and helpful, making our check-in process a breeze. The room itself was well-appointed, with modern charging stations for all our devices – a thoughtful touch that we truly appreciated. We were impressed by the cleanliness of the hotel, but the exceptional service provided by the housekeeping staff truly exceeded our expectations. Every day, our room was refreshed to perfection, with thoughtful touches like neatly arranging our belongings. It felt like coming home to a cozy sanctuary each time. The hotel's amenities, including a convenient microwave on our floor and a refreshing swimming pool, added to the overall comfort of our stay. We felt pampered and relaxed throughout our time at the Bow View Lodge. We wholeheartedly recommend this charming hotel to anyone seeking a memorable getaway. We can't wait to return and experience the warm hospitality and stunning scenery once again.
