Banff Caribou Lodge and Spa
Chalet-style lodge with spa, hot pool, and transit passes
About this hotel
The Banff Caribou Lodge and Spa offers a comfortable mountain retreat right in the heart of Banff. While not ski-in/ski-out, the lodge provides free passes for the local transit system, ensuring a smooth journey to the Banff Gondola and other ski areas. After a day on the slopes, the Red Earth Spa is a welcome sight, with its six treatment rooms, hot pool, and steam room. The lodge has a chalet-style ambiance, and select suites even come with a hot tub and a fireplace, perfect for unwinding. The Keg Steakhouse and Bar on-site means dinner and drinks are always convenient, rounding out a day of mountain adventures.

Our take
This lodge is ideal for skiers and couples who appreciate a full-service spa and the convenience of town centre amenities after a day of skiing. The free transit passes are a real bonus for getting to the slopes without hassle. It's less suited for those seeking a secluded, slopeside experience, as it's in the town centre and requires a short bus ride to the lifts.
- Make use of the free transit passes to get to the Banff Gondola quickly and easily each morning
- Book a treatment at the Red Earth Spa in advance, especially after a long day on the mountain
- Consider a suite with a hot tub and fireplace for a more romantic and relaxing evening in
Why we love it
- On-site Red Earth Spa with hot pool
- Free transit passes for easy slope access
- Chalet-style ambiance with fireplaces
- Convenient town centre location
