The hotel

There's a definite Western feel to this amiable family lodge in the heart of Banff. A truly authentic Rocky Mountain getaway, with many adventures and activities to enjoy including horseback riding, hiking, skiing and golf. The complimentary breakfast is sure to set you up refuelled and refreshed for another day out exploring, and upon returning back to your homely lodge accommodation, relax in the sauna. Rooms are spacious and comfortable with handcrafted log furniture, large windows, bright fabrics and historic photographs, a serene retreat after a day in the mountains.

In the heart of downtown Banff, has a limited garage, which was nice to be able to park and leave it. Rustic wood appointments rather lovely. The space was large with nice amenities. The bed was very comfortable and plenty of blankets and pillows , all beautiful. The breakfast offerings plentiful. Staff very nice.

Lodge style hotel in the middle of Banff. We stayed in a spacious room with two queen beds, jetted tub ( which we didn’t use), comfortable beds with Pendleton wool spreads, 55” tv, couch, table with chairs, good sized fridge. Breakfast buffet is included - basic, with cereals and oatmeal, toast and bagels, some warm food, fresh fruit, juices and coffee. The staff is very helpful. We had a couple issues with the room which they resolved right away. The hotel is kind of a maze but comfortable and cozy. It is on the corner of Caribou and Bear, one short block off Banff Avenue, the main shopping street. There are at least 20 restaurants, bistros, breweries, bakeries, take-out and coffee and tea places within a few steps in all directions, as well as several art galleries. 2 blocks from the Bow River and easy walking distance to several walking and hiking trails. Good value in the off-season (early May). Read less

There are other bigger and rather more expensive hotels in Banff but with the feel of traditional Canadian B & B hospitality, the Brewster would be hard to beat. We would certainly stay there again.
