“Buffalo Mountain Lodge benefits from its Tunnel Mountain address, removed from Banff's bustle while remaining accessible. I particularly appreciate the emphasis on Rocky Mountain cuisine at The Prow restaurant, sourcing local ingredients to create a dining experience that feels both refined and connected to its environment. Wood-burning fireplaces and mountain views add considerable charm; ideal after a day exploring the nearby trails.”

The room was clean and tidy. That was acceptable.
The gym disappointed me. It had limited dumbbell selection and only one treadmill. It was also narrow and windowless. I expect more from a hotel of this caliber.
