What it’s good at
Listed
Mid-century motor lodge architecture with retro ski interiors and local stairwell murals.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
On northern Banff Avenue, a short stroll or transit ride from downtown restaurants and shops.
The rooms
Rooms use neutral palettes and Canadiana artwork. Selected group layouts add lofted bunks or toe-to-toe beds.
The plunge pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Heated plunge pools sit in the central courtyard, flanked by cushioned daybeds and decorative breeze-block walls.
The gym
The fitness room has Peloton bikes, a heavy punching bag, and boxing gloves on yellow pegboard walls.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
A restored 1966 Volkswagen bus serves Alberta brisket poutine and Reuben sandwiches. An adjacent pantry stays stocked around the clock.
How it began
Drumheller-based Canalta Hotels bought the property in 2016, converting a former second-floor ballroom into guest rooms during the overhaul.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
