"Majestically poised on the edge of Sulphur Mountain, Rimrock Resort is as gorgeous as the view that surrounds it. Drive through a stone archway to be greeted by the 333-room, 24-suite stone-clad phenomenon. Sophisticated rooms all feature impeccable views ranging from Bow Valley to Rundle Mountain and Cascade Mountain. The spa and high-end fitness centers each offer floor-to-ceiling windows with their own picture-perfect views, and plenty of self-care possibilities for guests looking for indulgence or invigoration. Be sure to try Canadian-inspired dishes featuring locally-sourced ingredients at Primrose, then wind down by the fire at Larkspur Lounge. With Bow Falls, one of Banff’s best waterfalls, accessible from the property’s courtyard, you can experience the park's best with minimal effort." - Alexandra Toto
"Perched on the side of a hill with dramatic valley and forest views, this hotel makes the most of its outlook with floor-to-ceiling windows in public spaces and generous room vistas, with an upscale Signature Collection that includes a private 1,100-square-foot balcony. Dining highlights include a sunset dinner venue noted for its elevated cuisine, while the deep, 17,000-bottle wine cellar and guided cellar experiences are a major attraction for wine lovers. Guests should note ongoing renovations that leave some areas feeling dated, but accessible rooms and service-animal policies are in place." - Laura Studarus Laura Studarus Laura Studarus is a writer, traveler, and photographer from Los Angeles, California.
