Best Hotels with Airport Shuttle Service in Banff

If you've come to Canmore, Alberta, for the heart-pumping outdoor pursuits, Solara Resort & Spa provides a convenient home base. The resort, situated about 20 miles southeast of Banff National Park, plays off of the area's best asset: the Canadian Rockies. Solara puts you within an hour's drive of Mount Norquay, Sunshine Village and Lake Louise. After working up a sweat hitting the slopes or hiking the trails, head to One Wellness and Spa. Recent visitors say the spa provides soothing relief for sore muscles. For more relaxation, kick back in your room. Each of the one-, two- and three-bedroom suites features a cozy fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen and a spacious bathroom with a jet massage shower. Some of the suites also boast balconies appointed with electric grills, but if you're not in the mood to cook, you'll find a handful of restaurants and cafes in Canmore (less than a mile north). Or, you can head to the property's sister resort, Grande Rockies Resort, which has its own on-site eatery.

While the name of this Canadian lodge may initially induce a small chuckle, guests will find that the hotel is so much more than its quintessentially Canadian mascot (though you will find it everywhere). The Moose Hotel & Suites is praised across the board for a number of different attributes, including its comfy accommodations, top-notch facilities and convenient location in downtown Banff, Alberta. Lodgers say you can't skip a dip in one of the heated rooftop pools, which offer up views of the surrounding forestry from the terrace or behind floor-to-ceiling windows. Rooms stirred up just as many feelings of warmth, with guests reporting their accommodations to be modern, yet cozy thanks to amenities like king-sized or queen-sized beds, in-room coffee makers, flat-screen TVs and bathrooms with rain showers (upgrade to a suite and you'll get a fireplace and kitchenette). The Moose Hotel also boasts an Italian restaurant and an on-site fitness center and spa, which offers both standard treatments and salon services. You can find Moose Hotel & Suites right on Banff Avenue, Banff's main thoroughfare. From here, guests can walk to multiple restaurants, shopping and entertainment options.
