This is my overall top hotel pick in Banff and it's the place we call home during my guided group tours of Banff.

The Rimrock boasts a range of amenities, including a full-service spa, an indoor pool, and several dining options that serve everything from hearty breakfasts to gourmet dinners.

It's tucked away near the Banff Gondola and Upper Hot Springs, about 5 minutes from town.

The hotel features beautiful mountain views and a quieter atmosphere than what you'll experience if you stay in the heart of Banff.

Roam transportation and hotel shuttles make connecting from the property to Banff a breeze and I think you'll enjoy the sense of tranquility you get here which you can't find at other properties in this area.
