About Mount Royal Hotel
The Mount Royal Hotel occupies a prime position in Banff, offering 135 rooms across a range of categories — from well-appointed standard rooms with queen or king-size beds to the Presidential, Pinnacle and Brewster suites, each featuring private jacuzzis and generous living and dining areas. Every room includes a television and individual window views that reflect the hotel's mountain setting. Junior suites separate the bedroom from the living area and accommodate two guests; superior suites scale up to four. The premium suites add sofa beds and significantly more space, making them suited to those who want a more residential feel within a hotel setting. On-site facilities include a spa, swimming pool, hot tub, restaurant and bar, with concierge service available throughout your stay. Ski-in, ski-out access means the slopes are reachable directly from the property, removing the need for transfers or shuttle logistics. Wi-Fi is included across the hotel. A terrace and garden round out the communal spaces for time off the mountain.

Location
Banff sits within Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies, giving guests immediate access to some of North America's most varied ski terrain. The town itself is compact and walkable, with independent restaurants, shops and après-ski bars within easy reach of the hotel on foot. The Mount Royal Hotel's ski-in, ski-out designation places it directly on the snow, connecting guests to the slopes without the need for buses or taxis. Banff is served by Calgary International Airport, approximately 90 minutes' drive away, with regular transfers available. The wider Ski Big 3 area — encompassing Lake Louise, Sunshine Village and Mt. Norquay — is accessible from Banff, offering considerable variety across a single ski holiday.

Banff isn't just a ski destination; it is a historic mountain town nestled within the pristine wilderness of Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies. Serving as the ultimate alpine basecamp, it offers access to the world-renowned 'SkiBig3' resorts: Mt. Norquay, Banff Sunshine, and the Lake Louise Ski Resort. The combination of dramatic, jagged peaks, protected natural environments, and abundant wildlife makes skiing here a visually spectacular and truly unique experience. The skiing across the three resorts is legendary, characterized by light, dry champagne powder and sweeping, uncrowded slopes. From the family-friendly groomers and steep pitches of Mt. Norquay to the breathtaking alpine bowls of Lake Louise and the extreme freeride zones at Sunshine Village, there is nearly 8,000 acres of terrain to satisfy every level of skier and snowboarder. Beyond the slopes, Banff enchants visitors with its vibrant, bustling downtown, filled with top-tier restaurants, cozy pubs, and heritage architecture. After a long day on the mountain, relaxing in the thermal waters of the Banff Upper Hot Springs while gazing at the iconic Mt. Rundle is a quintessential Canadian Rockies experience.
The SkiBig3 area offers nearly 8,000 acres of skiable terrain spread across three distinct, unconnected mountains accessible via shuttle. Skiers can enjoy everything from long, rolling intermediate cruisers and gentle learning areas to some of North America's most extreme in-bounds freeride bowls.
A UNESCO World Heritage site known for its towering peaks, glacier-fed lakes, and abundant wildlife.
