Moxy Banff is a newer hotel on Banff Avenue that opened in 2024 as part of the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio, which may be important for Marriott Bonvoy Members. The property leans into a modern, mid-century inspired design rather than the traditional alpine lodge style common in town. It has around 100 rooms with creative layouts that maximize space, including toe-to-toe bed setups, bunk configurations, and some rooms with kitchenettes or lock-off options. The rooms feel compact but efficient, with updated tech features and a contemporary finish.
The location places guests within easy walking distance of shops, restaurants, and transit along Banff Avenue. Amenities are centred on social spaces, including a lively bar that doubles as the check-in area, a courtyard with year-round hot tubs and fire pits, a fitness room, and practical touches like ski, board, and bike storage. Overall, it’s a modern, design-forward option in a central location, emphasizing communal areas and flexible room layouts over traditional luxury. It wouldn't be our first choice of hotels in Banff, but it's still a good option.
