Banff Rocky Mountain Resort Condos, Banff, Canada

· beautiful scenic location on the outskirts of Banff town centre · shuttle bus to Sunshine and Lake Louise ski areas stops outside · free shuttle bus to centre - approx. 8 minutes drive

There’s not a huge amount of self catering options in Banff and we reckon the Rocky Mountain Resort is the best option if you’re after an apartment, or condo as they call it in Canada.

It’s a little way out of town but has its own bus to drive you to and from the centre, plus the ski bus stops at the reception area – so picking up groceries or getting to the ski resorts is a doddle.

Set in amongst woods, the chalet-style cabins each house a number of condo units – from small studios to large condos with two private bedrooms and a large lounge and kitchen. The most recent addition is the Wolf Condos which are luxury, modern apartments. The icing on the cake is the range of facilities, including a hot tub, pool and bar.

· free shuttle bus to Sunshine Village and Lake Louise · Mountain Health and Fitness Club with gym, indoor and outdoor hot tubs, indoor pool and additional charge for squash courts · The Alpha Bistro · free internet · extra charge for laundry facilities · free parking · daily fresh towels · 169 suites/condos

All condos have a kitchen with fridge, bathroom with bath/shower and WC, hairdryer, telephone, iron and ironing board and cable TV.
