Banff Aspen Lodge – A Favorite for Families in Banff

Banff Aspen Lodge allows up to two dogs per room with pet beds, bowls, and a designated pet relief area. The hotel provides pet baskets and bowls upon request at the 24-hour front desk. Guests with dogs receive a welcome letter and treats from the manager on arrival.

The Whitebark Café in the lobby serves locally-sourced menu items, coffee, pastries, and wine by the glass. A complimentary breakfast buffet is offered each morning from 6:30 to 10:00 AM, with hot items, fresh fruit, and European-style meats and cheeses. The hotel also has a coffee house on site that is popular with both guests and locals.

Two outdoor hot tubs, a dry sauna, and a steam room are located in the courtyard area with views of the surrounding mountains. The courtyard also includes a cedar deck and an outdoor fireplace for relaxing after a day of skiing or hiking. Banff Aspen Lodge is 3 km from the Fairmont Banff Springs golf course.

The lodge is on Banff Avenue, a 10-minute walk from the Banff Park Museum and 7 minutes by car from the Banff Gondola.
