Buffalo Mountain Lodge
Chalet comfort with fireplaces, spa, and ski storage
About this hotel
Perched on the slopes of Tunnel Mountain, Buffalo Mountain Lodge provides a true mountain escape with a distinct chalet feel. Each room is a cozy haven, complete with its own wood-burning fireplace, perfect for unwinding after a day on the slopes. The lodge offers a spa and jacuzzi for relaxation, and dedicated ski storage ensures your gear is secure and ready for the next adventure. While a short walk from downtown Banff, the lodge maintains a peaceful atmosphere, making it ideal for those seeking tranquility without being too far from the action. The lounge with its central fireplace is a welcoming spot to gather and share stories of the day's skiing.

Our take
This lodge is a solid choice for families and couples who appreciate the classic chalet experience, complete with a fireplace in every room. The spa and jacuzzi are a welcome bonus after skiing, and the ski storage is practical. It suits those who don't mind a short walk or drive to the main ski areas and downtown Banff, preferring a quieter setting on the mountain. If you're looking for a ski-in/ski-out experience right at the lifts, this might not be your first pick, but for a romantic or family-focused mountain retreat, it hits the mark.
- Make sure to use your in-room wood fireplace for a truly cozy evening after skiing
- Take advantage of the spa and jacuzzi to soothe tired muscles after a day on the slopes
- Utilize the ski storage facilities to keep your gear safe and organized throughout your stay

Why guests love itBuffalo Mountain Lodge is a four-star chalet-style lodge on Tunnel Mountain, a 20-minute walk from downtown Banff, and I would choose it for families who prefer a quieter setting and have a car. Mount Norquay is 9 km away and the Banff Gondola a 13-minute drive. Rooms have wood fireplaces, the jacuzzi and spa cover the evenings, and ski storage keeps gear out of the room.
