The hotel

There's a definite Western feel to this amiable family lodge in the heart of Banff. A truly authentic Rocky Mountain getaway, with many adventures and activities to enjoy including horseback riding, hiking, skiing and golf. The complimentary breakfast is sure to set you up refuelled and refreshed for another day out exploring, and upon returning back to your homely lodge accommodation, relax in the sauna. Rooms are spacious and comfortable with handcrafted log furniture, large windows, bright fabrics and historic photographs, a serene retreat after a day in the mountains. If you're looking for more space why not upgrade to a 2-Floor Loft Suite — perfect for longer stays.

My wife and I have just returned from Banff and although the trip was a complete disaster (she tore her ACL and MCL and broke her knee on the first day of ski-ing), we could not recommend Brewster Mountain Lodge highly enough.

My wife and I have just returned from Banff and although the trip was a complete disaster (she tore her ACL and MCL and broke her knee on the first day of ski-ing), we could not recommend Brewster Mountain Lodge highly enough. Central, clean, perfect location and decor for what we wanted and most importantly, the team working there could not do enough for us. Jack and Sean (I think, sorry if I’ve misremembered) in particular were brilliant! We will definitely be returning. Read less

We loved our stay in Banff and Brewster’s Mountain Lodge did not disappoint. A quaint, mountain themed hotel with a great sized room. The location was excellent - right in the heart of Banff with lots of restaurants and shops all around. We had a room on the front, the only downside was when we were there over a weekend it was a bit noisy late at night with people going home. Not the hotels fault at all and to be expected in the centre of town. Loved the free cookies on reception and the staff were all lovely. Read less

The location of this hotel is excellent! Right in the centre of town with lots of shops and restaurants on the doorstep. The hotel has onsite parking which was convenient and very reasonably priced. We were upgraded at check in to ‘The Boss’ suite which was a really big spacious room. The bathroom was very modern and it had a roll top bath… Read more

We were upgraded at check in to ‘The Boss’ suite which was a really big spacious room. The bathroom was very modern and it had a roll top bath which was great! Staff at the hotel were all really polite and helpful, they gave us information on buses, trips, hikes etc. Would definitely stay again if we came back to Banff town! Read less

This hotel does not try to be something it is not and is a very good 3 star lodge. Rooms are spacious, comfortable and equipped with everything you'd expect. Location is very good and close to everything in town. But above all the desk staff were excellent and really helpful. The only reason I gave it 4 not 5 stars was because I found the breakfast limited . I don't drink milk so cereals were not on and I don't like sweet pastries etc in the morning. I would have liked a bigger selection of fruit-berries perhaps as well as appled and quarters of orange. That said I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel Read less

Very central hotel to all amenities,staff very friendly and booked the gondola for us. The room we got was at the back which was not good for a light sleeper like me as the bin lorries came very early in the morning, although my wife slept through it all.

The room and decor throughout had a rustic feel which we liked and the rooms well cleaned! Breakfast was continental not your usual fare but nonetheless served a purpose although there are loads of restaurants nearby if you want better. We would return again but I would definitely look a room change! Read less
