Moose Hotel & Suites, Banff, Canada

· 1 minute's walk to downtown Banff · ski bus stop outside · 15 minutes' drive to Mount Norquay, 25 minutes to Sunshine Village and 45 minutes to Lake Louise · 20 minutes' bus ride to the ski school meeting point

In the centre of town, less than a minute’s walk from the downtown area, the Moose Hotel & Suites is a hard-to-beat option for a luxury Canadian ski break.

The elegant mountain hotel is constructed with rich, natural materials, to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout – look out for the moose paintings by local artists dotted around. Each of the 174 rooms and suites has been carefully finished to a high standard, with free WiFi, deluxe rain showers and balconies. If you opt for a suite, you’ll get a separate bedroom, a living room with a fireplace and a kitchenette too.

Banff’s many restaurants are pretty much on your doorstep, but don’t miss out on trying the hotel’s own Pacini restaurant to enjoy gourmet Italian fare for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner. To make things even easier, you can upgrade to bed & breakfast to get your breakfasts here included – their signature all-you-can-eat bread bar is certainly worth it.

Up on the roof there are two hot pools, a sauna room and a gas fire pit with stunning views of the Rockies. For an extra charge, you can enjoy the Meadow Spa, which has an indoor pool, a private rooftop hot pool, a sauna and a fitness room, as well as a whole range of massages and beauty treatments.
