"Set just a 15-minute walk from the irresistibly photogenic town of Banff within the pristine surrounds of Banff National Park, Buffalo Mountain Lodge lives up to every rustic Rocky Mountain vacation fantasy. Deer can even be spotted nibbling on the lawns just outside. Classic cabin style is the order of the day, with the spacious rooms decorated in a soothing range of earthy browns, greens, and mustard yellows. Each room boasts hefty stone fireplaces and baskets piled high with logs. Recent renovations have added flat screens to each room, but the views from the windows—of Mount Rundle and Cascade Mountain—put anything man-made to shame. In fact, don’t even pick up the remote. Throughout the summer, the nine acres of grounds ringed by huge pines, firs, and spruces offer a showstopping display of flowering blossoms, which even the locals come to photograph."

We booked two rooms here for our elopement and had the best experience. Staff were all very accomodating even going to the effort of leaving a card and small gift on our arrival. The rooms were the perfect lodge feel and decor with individual fire places, heated flooring and lots of space. The location is perfect, only a short drive or walk to the centre of town and far enough out to have the opportunity to spot natural wildlife amongst the grounds. We absolutely loved our time here and would highly recommend.

We LOVED the Buffalo Mountain Lodge. We are more homebodies, so the fact that it wasn't right in town and was more secluded was appealing to us and why we booked it. If you want to be in the thick of town, then this may not be the option for you. We had a premium king room on the upper level. The vaulted ceilings were beautiful and made the room feel spacious. We had a balcony with a meadow/mountain view, which we appreciated every day. The heated floors in the room were lux! And of course the wood burning fire place was the main appeal for us. There's DVD players in the room and you can go to the front desk to pick DVDs out which was great. The bed and bedding was comfortable. The pillows were quite soft but I didn't mind, so if you prefer a firmer pillow, maybe bring your own. The hot tub is great! Beautiful location to see the mountain. It's a spacious tub. We were never in it with anyone else. There's a place to take your boots off and get a towel inside. And there's a fire pit too which was a nice vibe. We didn't spend any time in the main lodge because our room was cozy and had everything we needed to warm up and relax after spending the day outdoors in the freezing cold. If you do want to go into town, the bus stop is close and is a quick 5 minute ride. Bottom line, if you're looking for a cozy stay, away from town with beautiful scenery in the trees, this is the place. We cannot wait to go back.

We went for New Years. Unfortunately after multiple attempts the set NYE dinner menu was not available, so we booked NYE dinner elsewhere. We've stayed here a few times before and its a beautiful property in a scenic location but the hotel needs to improve its overall operations (quality of drinks in the lounge, making sure hot tub has towels and water is clean).||We really appreciate the small details so we were very pleased to get a calendar and caramels with a thank you card for choosing to stay with them over New Years. ||Its also really nice to have the wood burning fireplaces to use in the room.

Our stay at Buffalo Mountain Lodge was beyond excellent. The view was great, the service was better, and the room we stayed at was just the best. We stayed in the 2-Queen Premiere Lodge and it had easy access to nature just by the back door. It was clean and everything was easy to use. We ran some problems with the billing at check out because of the bank but the staff was very understanding, friendly, and accommodating to our needs and necessities. Completely professional and respectful throughout the whole ordeal. If I have a recommendation tho, it would be that I would appreciate better allocation of parking spots for guests. However, it was understandable because we stayed at a high demand time over a long weekend. Overall, I would certainly stay here again and bring my family and friends over.

Fantastic place. We were in block.300 and rooms were lovely. Open fire and stunning views of the mountain. Hot tub is so nice and open until 11pm. Bonus having a bar and restaurant kn site. Al little bit if a walk into town but buses do run from hotel next door but can be confusing to work out bus times if reliant on public transport.

My husband and I have been coming here for years and this trip we brought our new puppy with us and wow, what an amazing trip. We booked 1 night just to see how it would go and ended up staying a second night no problem. The staff are so kind and extremely accommodating. Because we didn’t want to go too far with our pup in his crate in the room, we decided to eat all our meals at Prow. Honestly amazing food (my husband said the burger was probably the best one he’s ever had.) Such a stunning space to sit at the end and beginning of the day for a warm meal. We also never ever get dessert after dinner but decided to get the cheese cake and take it to go and eat in the room and we both we’re obsessed with it. We will never stay anywhere else in Banff. Being able to have a fire in your room and step out onto the balcony is such a treat. This hotel is incredibly quaint, cozy, and has everything you need for a weekend away. Just book here.

Although I thoroughly enjoyed my vacation in banff, I do feel there are things that would of made my stay a lot more enjoyable. I would not recommend staying at Buffalo mountain lodge, I feel this location is a little out of the way of town and if you did not drive can be inconvenient with ski equipment and anything else to get around. Lodging staff was really accommodating , helpful and nice ,they gave bus information and schedules , and also called cabs and answered any questions i had. The management at the restaurant (The Prow)was definitely giving rude and did not make me feel welcomed, food was alright really not that great and will not be coming back.

I can not recommend this hotel enough! I stayed in many hotels all around the world and I believe this is the best! Top notch room, top notch amenities, top notch rooms. This hotel should be 5- star hotel. The supplies in the room are from Crate and Barrel or L’occitane. They had towels and bath robes. The only thing missing in the room was slippers😀. I think we will come back every year to this place. Waking up to a balcony with forest view. Touching the pine trees while you are having your coffee on the balcony feels wonderful💕 Ground heating, so, not even one sound or No noise at all for the AC or heater.💕💕💕 Amazing! This place is magical💯they have a great gym. Outdoor hot tub.
