The Best Places to Stay in Banff National Park | Condé Nast Traveler

"On the lower slopes of Mount Norquay, surrounded by gardens of native plants and bee houses, the modernist 52-room Juniper Hotel will captivate you with its rich history, famous brunch (check out the unique mimosas and “Juniper Bennies”), and eco-conscious ideology. The rustic-chic property features iconic 360-degree views of the Rockies and Vermilion Lakes, and stands minutes away from both the wildlife corridor and downtown Banff on an archaeological site that has been a gathering place for people and animals for over 4,000 years—be sure to borrow a backpack or hop on a complimentary bike to explore the scenic trails located steps away. Experience some of the most scenic vistas in the park from a private balcony or patio connected to your room, and continue to soak up Bow Valley views from the Juniper Bistro’s open-air patio or floor-to-ceiling windows. To honor all who have passed through the area, the hotel displays artifacts and art that celebrate the history of the indigenous tribes and early travelers." - Alexandra Toto
