My favourite downtown Banff hotel is Moose Hotel & Suites. This well maintained property is situated right on Banff Avenue, just a few minutes walk from a huge choice of restaurants, cafes and stores.
One of the other highlights of the hotel is the huge rooftop patio with hot tub. A wonderful place to take it all in!
Please note that while I have marked this hotel 'mid-range' - it is mid-range for Banff only. Accommodation is Banff is significantly higher priced than all other destinations in this travel guide.
