Moose Hotel & Suites Banff: The Complete Guide
Opened in 2016, Moose Hotel & Suites is the newest full-service hotel in downtown Banff — timber-and-stone design, twin rooftop hot pools, and one of the best locations on Banff Avenue.
Location
345 Banff Avenue, at the south end of the main street two blocks from the Bow River bridge. Every restaurant and shop in Banff is within a 10-minute walk.
Rooms
174 rooms and one- to three-bedroom suites, all with heated bathroom floors and gas fireplaces. Suites include full kitchens — a real advantage for longer stays or families who want to skip a breakfast bill.
Rooftop hot pools
The signature feature: two open-air pools on the rooftop, both heated year-round, looking straight at Cascade Mountain. Steam rising against snowy peaks in January is the shot every guest ends up posting.
Dining
- Pacini — casual Italian, wood-fired pizzas, complimentary bread bar
- Meatball Pizza & Wine Bar — small plates, natural wines
Amenities
- Meadow Spa & Pools (full-service treatments)
- Underground heated parking
- Ski storage and boot warmers
- Bike rentals in summer

Best for
Couples on a first Banff trip. Design-focused travellers who don't want a chain-hotel feel. Families booking suites with a kitchen. Anyone who wants to walk everywhere and end the day in a rooftop hot pool.
