We had a nice stay at the Bow Lodge. We were in Banff for a night and it was nice to be able to stay so close to the main area and have easy parking. We were able to walk along the river before heading out which was a nice way to start the day!
Laura, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was our second time staying at Bow View Lodge, and once again, it did not disappoint! From the warm, friendly welcome at check-in to the peaceful atmosphere throughout our stay, everything was just as perfect as we remembered. The location is unbeatable, right by the Bow River with incredible views of the mountains. It’s so relaxing to wake up and take in the scenery from the room or the outdoor patio. The lodge has a great mix of comfort and charm, and the staff are always eager to make sure everything is just right.
