It was a wonderful place for us to stay for a couple of days. The views were gorgeous ans breathtaking. We thoroughly enjoyed our hikes as well as outdoor spa during the day, and had a great time celebrating Canada Day. It was a memorable stay, and we would happily return in tge future.
Great location for ski in-ski out at Sunshine.
We had a fantastic stay for summer skiing!
The after hours shuttle to and from the base was very useful. We also loved the large hot tub and nightly S’Mores.
The staff were universally friendly and helpful.
Wonderful stay.
Staying up on the mountain is a great experience and would recommend to anyone! I’d like to do it again in winter. The only thing that would have made it better was a firmer bed in the room: my partner and I felt like we were both sinking towards each other into the middle of the bed in the night
Great staff, awesome room, can’t beat the view! We didn’t ski but the runs were well maintained and we loved all that this hotel had to offer. Temp control could have been a bit better but we figured it out with the fresh air from the window. Great in house restaurants and neat little bar. We will be back for sure! Also great shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and skin cream. Wish they’d sell it but front desk gave us a care package when we enquired about it. Awesome place!
It was a great stay for my family. What an experience for us. Super clean and friendly staff. Only issue we had was at check in and check out. Not the staffs fault but computer issues and needing to address reservations better for 3 parties like Expedia for instance. My stay was paid in full and the front desk had a hard time seeing that. Besides that it was great.
Clean and comfortable room, friendly staff and easy check in and check out!

Staff were great, very helpful and accommodating. General atmosphere in the hotel was nice - friendly staff and guests. Food in the casual restaurant was nice and reasonably priced.
If you aren’t skiing I wouldn’t recommend. Staff is super nice but getting to and from your room is a bit of a pain. If Gondolas aren’t running you could wait 30-45 min for a shuttle. There is also no self laundry and zero storage space in the rooms to put clothes.
When I heard “mountain lodge”, I assumed in the mountains. I was wrong. This lodge was ON the mountain. You take this gorgeous gondola ride (tickets included) to the top of the mountain to the hotel. We went for our anniversary and we were AMAZED with every aspect. Saying It was stunning isn’t enough. Largest outdoor hot tub in Banff was to die for, with literal views of the slopes. Plus, our view from our room, though not facing the mountain, had a full on waterfall not 20 feet from us. It was serene and gorgeous. A perfect start to our weekend. I truly wish we could have stayed longer. 100/10. Would recommend!!!!

How many hotels have you been to where you need to take a 20 minute aerial gondola ride to get to? If you're afraid of heights, or you arrive too late they have a shuttle van too. You're over halfway up a mountain at over 7000' (2100m), so be aware of that too. But it's a very cool experience. We were there in late June and they still had ski lifts running and lots of outdoor adventures. Watch out for the mountain goats on the road up to the parking lot/gondola station, we saw them on the way up and on the way back down.
Room was way overpriced for what we got. Photos online also did not reflect the size and quality of the room. There was also an added resort fee that we were not told about. No fridge, microwave or free breakfast in the morning, meaning we could not keep food we brought cold, or heat it up.
