The only problem that I have with the town of Banff itself is that there is nowhere to semi privately breastfeed my baby. I had to sit in the dark closed theatre, otherwise I would have to sit on the bench on the main drag next to the busy street. Also some of the shops are not stroller friendly -... More

The Banff Centre is a gorgeous campus located part way up the Tunnel Mountain, just outside of Banff. The walk to the campus is great (offers awesome views of the Bow River and the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel) and the campus itself is very pleasant. It is nice to walk around the campus and take in the gorgeous views of... More

Absolutely loved the Banff Centre campus when we stayed on site for the Banff Mountain Festival last November 2012. Beautifully laid out with a nice mix of old and contemporary buildings. And sited about the townsite of Banff, you really feel like you are away from it all, surrounding by gorgeous mountains. This truly is and creativity inspiring and thought... More

We were surprised at the number of attractive shops there selling local artwork at prices that we could afford. It was also very interesting to see the totem poles just outside the centre.

We stayed for a week as part of a conference group. The group rate at the hotel is the best vale of all 4 star hotels in town. The best part is the Breakfast buffet included in the package. They make omelet to your order. The view from the window is fantastic and service was good. The low point was... More

Came for a seminar. Stayed and had most meals here. The Vista dining room had a marvellous view of the mountain s and town. Along the way up there's also a few stop points to get picturesque view of Fairmont Banff Spring. Accommodation-wise was acceptable.

I was looking for place to work out while spending time in Banff. The Banff Centre sits just above the town with awsome views. The gym was excellant, olympic size pool, steams rooms, rock climbing room(even across the ceiling) and all very, very clean. $10.00 a day for a drop in!

There are year-round cultural events taking place here. In late October/early November, there is the Banff Mountain Film and Book Festival. In 2011, there were many, many great films, usually with the director in attendance. There are good places to eat, and the hotel, while far from luxurious, is clean and comfortable, and guests can use the excellent fitness centre.
