We used to stay at this property when it was affiliated with Delta. Although the rooms are well appointed and clean, the lobby services leave something to be desired. The front desk was well staffed, courteous and accommodating. The restaurant, only being open certain hours meant that we went elsewhere for meals and the lounge also had extremely limited availability, often being closed early if no one was occupying it. The 1 time we did use it, I ordered an Irish coffee, and because they didn’t have whip cream, they added cream which simply made for a cold glass of coffee. The welcoming fireplace was only lit once in the 4 nights we stayed. As some of the family retires earlier than others, the TV room off of the front desk was utilized each night for games or reading. It was rarely clean from previous usage, didn’t have much in the way of seating and was cool without the heat from the fireplace.

Nice hotel. Close enough to the rest of downtown to get access to the buses or garden, but far enough so you can have a nice walk after dinner.

Excellent stay
My stay was great. Although I do wish at check in the front desk could have mentioned the ticket availability at the hotel for gondola and ice walk. No one was behind me so there was no rush. I also thought that my room didn’t have a smart TV, just apps. Maybe it was a smart TV and I didn’t check good. Found the blankets a little sparse and not too soft. The TV in the fitness room is not working. And the safety clip on the treadmill is broken. The restaurant The Evergreen was amazing! Meals beat our other higher end meal at the Waldhaus by a mile. Excellent food. Pool is clean and beautiful. Definitely stay here regularly and enjoy.

The Royal Canadian Lodge in Banff offers a stunning experience with its breathtaking lobby and elegant accommodations. Our room was beautifully decorated, featuring a cozy fireplace that added to the ambiance. The hotel amenities, including the mineral pool and steam room, were exceptional, providing a perfect retreat after exploring Banff. Dining at the Evergreen Restaurant was delightful, with a menu that showcases local ingredients. The staff were friendly and attentive, making our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a fantastic getaway that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Banff.
