The hotel was good for our ski holiday. The property is a bit of a walk from the majority of restaurants, so we did have a 15-20 minute walk or so each night for dinner. We could've shuttled, but didn't mind the walk. Parking was free and easy under the hotel. The hot tub was large and nice after a ski day. The shuttles to the local ski areas stop right out front. They are convenient and reliable. The rooms were ok. There wasn't much room for a family and all of the luggage and gear that comes with a ski trip. Our room was basically 2 beds and just room enough to walk around them. This isn't meant to bash the hotel, just to make travelers aware that space is a bit cramped. We got along ok once we got used to it.

We had a great girls weekend at The Fox. The hot tub/cave area is a great spot to unwind. We were able to walk to all the spots we wanted and the shuttle to Lake Louise was right out front and super convenient to use. Staff were very friendly. Would stay here again in the future. :)

I've been to a zillion hotels but The Fox is near the top of the list. The staff are friendly and exude client centric, excellence. The location is fantastic, our room was perfect for a week long stay. Underground parking was a plus and the hot tub groto was very cool (not). The biggest surprise was the restaurant. I rolled my eyes when I saw Chilli's brand as the in-house restaurant but it exceeded our expectations to the point it became a favoured spot. Well done The Fox and Chillies staff. We will be back. Thanks!

The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a young lady at the front desk who was in training. She handled our check-in and check-out and did a wonderful job for being a rookie! Sorry I do not remember her name, but a job well done. Have stayed at the Fox in the past and will do so again in the future. Thanks for an enjoyable stay! R.C. Gillies.

Minus the multiple stains on the ceiling the room was cute and extremely clean, no dust anywhere. Unfortunately staff and other guests were quite loud. There was a lady yelling and banging on a door at 1am and it went on for at least 30min before I believe staff finally dealt with her. We were then woken around 8am to staff cleaning the room next door and slamming the vacuum into the baseboards. I understand rooms need to be turned over for the next guests, however it would be nice if they tried to be quite or waited until after 9am.

Our stay at the Fox Hotel in Banff was nothing short of amazing. The location is ideal—just a short walk from downtown, yet still peaceful and surrounded by the stunning mountain scenery that Banff is known for. One of the highlights was definitely the hot tub experience. It’s designed like a cave, creating a super unique and relaxing atmosphere—perfect after a day of hiking or exploring the town. The room was very clean and comfortable, with everything we needed for a cozy stay. The overall vibe of the hotel was warm and welcoming, and the staff were great too. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Banff—whether it’s your first time or your tenth. We’ll definitely be back!

First stay here in twenty years, and nothing has changed. That’s not a good thing. Cracked floor tiles that obviously haven’t been repaired in a very long time. Dirty in the common areas and garbage around the place. Was really unimpressed by the state of the place. Elevator also took forever and there’s only one. Parking is super tight, but free underground is much appreciated. Room was okay, it’s got what you need, but it’s tired. This place badly needs a renovation. Furniture is scuffed. Bed creeks like crazy and sound travels through the rooms. It’s dated and it’s obvious. Maybe it’s the next Banff hotel to get a refresh? It needs it. Hot tub area is cool, gym barely qualifies as a gym. Staff were friendly. Overall, if you’re looking for a cheap option in the off season, there’s probably better. I would never recommend this place if you’re looking in the high season, for several hundred a night….. it’s a hard pass. Such a shame.
