Buffalo Mountain Lodge

Perched on the gentle slopes of Tunnel Mountain in Banff National Park, scenic Buffalo Mountain Lodge is 2 km (1.25 mi) from the eclectic shops and boutiques of downtown Banff. Lake Minnewanka is 7 km (4.5 mi) away and several downhill ski areas are within 40 km (25 mi).

Sleeping Buffalo Restaurant is famous for its Rocky Mountain Cuisine which highlights wild game; indigenous berries; and wild fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, and grains. The lodge maintains its own wild-game ranch where caribou and buffalo roam.

A 24-hour fitness center with dry sauna and changing rooms opens onto a 20-person outdoor spa tub—a delicious, steaming treat in winter when snow covers the ground. A 24-business center is also on site and wireless Internet access is complimentary in public areas.

All guestrooms feature mountain lodge-style décor with fieldstone fireplaces that are restocked with complimentary firewood daily. Amenities include cable TVs and wireless Internet access (surcharge). Premier rooms at Buffalo Mountain Lodge feature bathrooms with heated slate floors, separate shower stalls, and old-fashioned claw-foot bathtubs. One-bedroom suites have 42-inch plasma TVs with DVD players and access to a complimentary movie library.
