Rustic Lodging
Perched a top a mountain, epic Northern vistas surround Buffalo Mountain Lodge. Experience the comfort of mountain lodge living!
Distinct from the majority of Banff hotels, Buffalo Mountain Lodge is situated on Tunnel Mountain formerly called “Sleeping Buffalo” by First Nations living in the region.
Banff is renowned the world over for its spectacular scenery, soothing hot springs and pure mountain air. It was here in 1885 that the Canadian government created Canada’s first national park.
Distinct from the majority of Banff hotels, Buffalo Mountain Lodge is situated on Tunnel Mountain. A peaceful mountain retreat, the lodge is surrounded by 9 acres of towering fir, pine, and spruce trees, yet just a 15 minute walk or 3 minute drive from the shopping, nightlife and restaurants that are on offer in downtown Banff.
Banff is a popular destination for local and international visitors alike, who flock to the area for the world-renowned hiking, skiing and wildlife. Buffalo Mountain Lodge is the secret gem of the area, offering comfortable accommodation with fireplaces to cozy up to, uniquely mountain style architecture including post and beam construction and high open ceilings, and delicious hearty meals made up of dishes that can’t be found back home.
Rooms at the lodge have fieldstone wood-burning fireplaces, cozy duvets, LCD televisions and Blu-ray players. Many feature patios or balconies. Each room has been carefully decorated to reflect the mountain lifestyle in Banff. The outdoor stainless steel hot tub is best enjoyed after an invigorating hike, bike or ski on one of the nearby trails-or perhaps to aid digestion after a sumptuous meal in the lodge’s highly acclaimed restaurant, Sleeping Buffalo.

Due to provincially mandated regulations, our hot tub will be closed starting on Sunday, December 13th, 2020 for four weeks.
The province of Alberta will let us know if we are able to reopen after this shutdown. Thank you for your understanding.
Please be advised that Buffalo Mountain Lodge will be undergoing renovations in the Main Lodge from January to May, 2021.
The affected areas will be the lobby, front desk, dining room, bar and lounge. We will be temporarily relocating our front desk and dining room access through the doors located between the main building entrance and hot tub access gate. Note that signage will be posted once relocation has taken place.
We thank you for your understanding and look forward to showcasing our newly renovated space upon completion of this project.
