Brewster Mountain Lodge
This is my favourite hotel in Banff. The location is excellent. We stayed in a room with a balcony and jetted tub which made it extra special.

Peaks Hotel & Suites
Nice hotel. It was clean and the rooms and comfortable and quiet. My only issue is they push for you to use your phone as the key card but will only give you a code for one phone. So we still had to go and wait at the front desk for a card so my wife could have a room key as well.
