Excellent stay
My stay was great. Although I do wish at check in the front desk could have mentioned the ticket availability at the hotel for gondola and ice walk. No one was behind me so there was no rush. I also thought that my room didn’t have a smart TV, just apps. Maybe it was a smart TV and I didn’t check good. Found the blankets a little sparse and not too soft. The TV in the fitness room is not working. And the safety clip on the treadmill is broken. The restaurant The Evergreen was amazing! Meals beat our other higher end meal at the Waldhaus by a mile. Excellent food. Pool is clean and beautiful. Definitely stay here regularly and enjoy.

Our room was beautifully decorated, featuring a cozy fireplace that added to the ambiance. The hotel amenities, including the mineral pool and steam room, were exceptional, providing a perfect retreat after exploring Banff. Dining at the Evergreen Restaurant was delightful, with a menu that showcases local ingredients. The staff were friendly and attentive, making our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a fantastic getaway that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Banff.
