Rimrock Resort Hotel

Rooms

All 364 rooms are spacious and comfortable, decorated in a modern style. Each one boasts a TV, telephone, safe deposit box and coffee maker and its own in-room temperature control, as well as either two queen beds or a single king bed. The rooms are classified by floor level — the higher the floor, the wider the views. Grandview rooms have an unobstructed, panoramic view of Cascade Mountain. 

Location

Located slightly outside of town, this hotel is easily accessible by car or Banff’s Public Transit service, the Roam bus, for which guests receive a complimentary pass. It’s just a five-minute ride into downtown if you’d rather explore local options. The Upper Hot Springs and the Sulphur Mountain Gondola are just a short walk away.

Food and drink

The Rimrock Resort Hotel is the home of Eden, one of only six five-diamond restaurants in the whole of Canada. Guests can enjoy dinner here with a sweeping view of the Rockies — the menu features local ingredients prepared in an elegant French style.

For more casual dining, Primrose restaurant serves dinner as well as a buffet and à la carte breakfast amid mountain views through floor-to-ceiling windows. The hotel’s lounge and cocktail bar are both excellent places to relax for a casual drink or light snack, and the café offers fresh pastries and gourmet sandwiches for those on the move.

Families

The indoor pool and whirlpool are a good place for families to unwind after a day of exploring Banff National Park. There’s also an outdoor seating area with mountain views and in the winter you can ice skate on their onsite rink. 

Facilities and activities

The property has 24-hour room service, an indoor swimming pool, whirlpool, gym, squash court and a spa. Wi-Fi is complimentary throughout the hotel, and parking and valet services are both available for a fee. They also have onsite concierge services for arranging transfers and a money exchange at the front desk. 

Accessibility
