Moose Hotel & Suites

About Moose Hotel & Suites

The Moose is one of the newer builds on Banff Ave and it shows in ways that work in its favour. The rooms are properly sized for a modern hotel, the finishes are current, and the mechanical systems work without the heritage-property quirks that come with century-old buildings.

The rooftop pool and hot tub situation is genuinely excellent. Two outdoor pools and two hot tubs on the top floor with unobstructed views toward Tunnel Mountain and the surrounding peaks. In summer this is one of the better places to be at any hotel in Banff. In winter it is legitimately one of the better places to be anywhere. Pacini on the ground floor handles Italian food competently and makes the hotel self-contained for a night when you do not feel like going out.

Families get good value here because the suites are properly sized and the pool situation means you never need to leave the property to keep kids happy. Couples get the rooftop at night. What the Moose has is a well-run modern hotel at a price that makes the rooftop feel like a deal.
