ACCOMMODATION
The accommodation range for Banff Hotels is quite wide, ranging from luxury, superior and moderately
priced hotel style rooms and suites within a convenient walking distance of the downtown area, to
condo, chalet and cabin properties (with kitchen/ettes) on Tunnel Mountain (~3min drive to downtown),
and between Banff and Lake Louise on the 1A Highway (~20min to Banff townsite).
GETTING HERE
Banff National Park is an easy 90 min drive west of Calgary (in the province of Alberta), via the 4 lane
divided Trans Canada Highway #1. Calgary is serviced by numerous international and charter airlines
offering flights from around the world. Banff is also serviced by airporter shuttles, rail and coach
services.
GETTING AROUND
While having a rental car will give you the most flexibility to travel at your own pace, Banff is serviced by
airporter shuttles, town shuttle and ski shuttles which you can combine to easily get around. The size of
the town is small, so it's a flat and picturesque walk from one end of town to the other ~40min. However
if you are staying in the Tunnel Mountain area, it's an uphill walk back, or you can use the transit
system. Taxi's are easily available and approx $6­10CAD anywhere within the townsite.
