Whether you’re looking for a relaxing après-ski sanctuary or a big night on the town, our contemporary designed rooms pair clean, minimalist design with cozy Rocky Mountain-inspired elements to create the ideal accommodation for exploring the best of Banff.
A renovation in the heart of the Rockies

In 2016, we renovated the Banff International Hotel for an entirely new Banff hotel experience. Meet Elk + Avenue. By infusing Banff’s alpine history with sleek modern design, we’ve created an experience that balances rugged authenticity with comfort and class.
