Fox Hotel & Suites

The Fox Hotel & Suites is a charming and rustic property just outside downtown Banff with easy access to the mountains via a free ski bus. The mountain lodge styling is obvious inside and out, from the stone and red-wood façade to the patterned wallpaper that features moose, bears and, of course, foxes.

The fox theme is carried through every corner of the hotel, from little statues to lighting fixtures. The rest of the interiors are warm and welcoming, with leather sofas and dark wooden furnishings.

The rooms are spacious and comfortable – the beds are Mountain Luxury beds, ensuring you have a deep and restful night's sleep. The suites also have living rooms and kitchen nooks that are perfect for storing snacks and drinks.

Make mornings easy and upgrade to bed and breakfast – you can load up on all your favourites at the hot and cold buffet. And for lunch or dinner, the on-site Tex-Mex restaurant, Chili's, is the perfect choice. They serve up classics like burgers, ribs, quesadillas and fajitas. Wash your food down with a homemade margarita from the Margarita bar and then sit back and watch some ice-hockey on the 60" plasma screen.

If that wasn't enough, the hotel houses a unique Cave & Basin-themed hot pool, based on the original cave found in the 19th century. And as it's only half covered, if you look up, there are wonderful views of the sky above. Once you're done in the pool, you can also take advantage of the dry sauna and fitness room. If your muscles still ache after all that, you can head to the Red Earth Spa at the neighbouring Banff Caribou Lodge for a massage – you can charge all your treatments straight back to your room at the Fox Hotel & Suites.

Lastly, the hotel pride themselves on the little extras they offer, so when you want to head to downtown Banff for some food, drinks or shopping, you can hop on a Roam bus into town for free, all courtesy of the hotel.
