Relaxing getaway

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Buffalo Mountain Resort, and it was a truly memorable experience. The room was incredibly spacious, with the highlight being the fireplace in the bedroom—it made the space feel extra cozy and inviting. The bathroom was also fantastic, offering plenty of room for both of us to get ready comfortably. The on-site restaurant was a lovely addition, and while the food was good, I felt it could have used a bit more flavor to really stand out. However, the real star of the stay was the breathtaking view—it was absolutely stunning and added so much to the overall experience. I would definitely recommend this resort for a relaxing getaway!

The Buffalo Mountain Lodge is our favourite hotel in Banff. The fireplace, the location, the spa and the Prow restaurant is worth every penny. Tunnel mountain is minutes to downtown and we have learned that the serenity away from downtown has its charm when in reality you are only 5 minutes away. Stay here!

Some of furniture needs refurbishing but the bathtub is great. Being out of town is quiet and restful and views are amazing. The wood burning fireplace makes it perfect.
