Part of the locally run Banff Lodging Company empire, the four-star Caribou fits the classic stereotype of a mountain lodge, with its log exterior and giant stone fireplace. The 190 rooms are comfortable but fairly standard. Guests receive a free bus pass and have access to a lovely pool, an underground car park and the well-regarded Red Earth Spa.
You can dine on-site at the adjacent Keg Steakhouse.
