A quintessential mountain lodge complete with wood burning fireplace (logs included), hot tub and very good on site restaurant and lounge. Great quiet location on Tunnel Mountain but still within walking distance to the town. Friendly staff as well.

We absolutely loved staying at the Buffalo Mountain Lodge! The staff were so friendly and the room was so cozy. The room service was prompt and I really enjoyed how they refilled our fireplace with wood everyday. The only critique I have is the parking was difficult to navigate in the crowded parking spaces. The bus stop was convenient and the property provided free bus passes which was wonderful. I would absolutely recommend staying here if you are looking for a place to stay in Banff!

We didn't have breakfast. We enjoyed the Happy Hour, service was excellent and drink selection was good. We had dinner at The Prow one night and I had the Alberta Lamb Rack and was surprised how much meat there was. It was delicious. My husband had the AB Beef Sirloin 6 oz and it was cooked to perfection and tasted delicious. I know, because I sampled it too! :-) Staff were friendly and accommodating. We would stay again. More conducive to adults/couples versus families, especially families with young children. It only has a hot tub, no pool with waterslide for kids, which they love.
Alberta Lamb Rack with Pomegranate Demi glaze. Excellent! Delicious! Lots of meat! Good portion.
Grate inside was a bit small, wood would fall off easily.
Room was lovely. We were upgraded to a Premium. We were there mid week.
