Detailed Review
Buffalo Mountain Lodge is set amidst the beautiful tall pines of this mountain environment ~ yet just minutes away from shopping and the nightlife of Banff Avenue. We have 108 guest rooms – 48 of which are our Premier units decorated with a queen or 2 queen size beds, TV, VCR, natural fieldstone fireplaces, oversized baths featuring claw-foot soaker tubs, heated slab flooring and either a balcony or patio. The Deluxe rooms have either one queen or two double beds are furnished with bent willow, pine furniture, balcony, TV, feather duvets and have natural fieldstone fireplaces. Our recreational facilities include a Steam Room, Gym and Outdoor Hot Tub. The Main Lodge is built of hand-hewn timbers and has a massive fieldstone fireplace, high open beam ceilings, a cozy lobby bar and historic antiques. The dining room in the Main Lodge features flavorful “Rocky Mountain Cuisine” and an award winning wine list. In the summer of 1998 we added a new Conference Center – the Wapiti-Longhouse and Wine Cellar. Its magnificent views coupled with vogue decor make this a picture perfect place for a training session or a corporate getaway. Alternative room options include our vaulted-ceiling Wainwright Room with outdoor patio, second-level Strathcona Room with balcony, and independent Cascade – ideal for small groups and/or breakout sessions. If interested in an intimate, casual setting our Mountain Cafe Cilantro is available during non-peak dates. In the winter, there are miles of cross-country ski trails. Buffalo Mountain Lodge is a 15-minute walk to the center of Banff or to the Banff Center. Nearby are world famous downhill ski areas at Mount Norquay, Sunshine and Lake Louise. Summer in Banff offers a variety of outings to choose from, including hiking, biking, rafting, horseback riding and golfing.
