Tunnel Mountain Resort  

Perched on Tunnel Mountain in Banff's Tunnel Mountain District, minutes from Surprise Corner and the Bow River. A family-friendly, pet-friendly lodge inside Banff National Park with quick drives to the Banff National Park Information Centre, Banff Lake Louise Tourism Bureau, Upper Hot Springs and Victoria Glacier.

Roughly a 100-unit resort offering individually decorated rooms, suites, condos and cabins — some with kitchens, wood-burning fireplaces and private balconies or patios. Rooms include refrigerators, microwaves, coffee/tea makers, blackout drapes and daily housekeeping for a cozy, mountain-meets-modern vibe.

Soak in an indoor pool, unwind in the sauna or steam bath, or hit the fitness center. There’s ski storage, picnic and barbecue areas, and a complimentary area shuttle to nearby sights. Complimentary wireless internet and free self-parking keep practical needs covered — and mornings come with crisp Rockies air.

A business center and 24-hour front desk backstop your work needs. Concierge services, dry cleaning/laundry, an on-site ATM and safe-deposit options add convenience for longer stays.

An on-site restaurant serves guests after days on the slopes or trails. For casual bites, use the picnic and barbecue areas and soak up the mountain setting.
