Location

This Banff hotel has a prime setting 2.2 km from the large waterfall "Bow Falls", while natural sights like Central Park are only 1.1 km away. The Best Western Plus Banff International Lodge provides easy access to the forested Tunnel Mountain Trail, which is nearly a 20-minute walk away.

Guests might also visit Tunnel Mountain, located only 1.9 km away. Standing just a 10-minute stroll away, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a hard-to-miss divine tourist destination.

Best Western Plus Banff International Lodge hotel is only a few steps from Brewster bus station.

Rooms

There are 57 air-conditioned rooms featuring a TV set as well as coffee/tea making machines for self-catering.

Eat & Drink

The accommodation is a mere 150 metres from The Evergreen Restaurant and Lounge restaurant with its Canadian dishes.

Leisure & Business

A heated pool with a hot tub is available at the hotel. If you like active lifestyle, the Best Western Plus Banff International Lodge offers a golf course, along with snow skiing and hiking on site. The property also features a photocopy machine and safes for those arriving on business.

“Best Western Plus Banff International Lodge hits the mark for fuss-free Banff exploration, especially appealing to families and those with pets keen on mountain adventures. The inclusion of perks like breakfast and an indoor pool adds notable value, considering Banff's higher-priced accommodations; I think it smartly balances cost with convenience. Its location, a manageable walk to downtown, means you're close enough to the action but can retreat to a quieter setting.”

Nice Mountain Stay

friendly staff underground parking breakfast choice king bed
I found the staff very friendly. They helped me with directions. The room was neat, and the king-size bed provided great comfort after long days. The underground parking was invaluable. It kept my car safe from weather. Breakfast offered several choices, including fresh fruit and pastries.
The elevator was a bit slow at peak times.

Solid Stay with Great Amenities

underground parking relaxing hot tub quality glassware firm bed
The hotel featured underground parking for my vehicle. I found the included hot tub and swimming pool relaxing after a day outdoors. My room had glassware instead of paper cups, a touch I appreciated. The beds were firm, a personal preference that enhanced my sleep.
The breakfast area felt cramped during peak hours.

Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

small breakfast area early charge
The breakfast area was too small. It became very crowded each morning. The hotel attempted to charge my card early and then applied a cancellation fee while I was en route. This occurred because my card requires two-step verification (a standard security measure these days).
