More about this place
Banff Caribou Lodge & Spa offers a Banff Avenue lodge-style stay with a spa, steakhouse and jetted hot pool. Standard rooms and loft suites serve different party needs, while local bus passes support car-light time in town.
Red Earth Spa, a jetted hot pool and an exercise room make this a useful base after active days. The Keg serves meals in the hotel, and included local Roam passes help with journeys along Banff Avenue. Standard rooms have a mini-fridge; choose a suite for more space rather than assuming every room offers a living area.
