I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and well-sized with a beautiful view of the mountains, but unfortunately, they felt a bit small and cramped. The service was incredible, especially from staff members like Nico, Laurent, and Taffie who went above and beyond. The dining options were delicious but a bit chaotic, lacking some frills found in other hotels. The location was stunning, though the high price made me expect a bit more cleanliness. I enjoyed the stay but felt there were some areas for improvement.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were lovely with lots of windows, a cantilever ceiling, a huge en-suite, and a welcoming gift of 1/2 litre of Prosecco and sweets. The king size bed was beautiful, although the bathroom was a bit small, but understandable in such a charming old building. The beds were of the highest quality and the room was clean and complete.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious, but unfortunately, the road noise made it hard to get a good night's sleep. The service provided by Max, Sarah, Taffie, and a lovely staff member was exceptional, creating a memorable stay for us. The location was convenient, offering access to various attractions, but there were concerns about the hotel's future reputation. The dining experience at the Vermilion Restaurant was fantastic, especially for Gold customers.

Staying on the Gold floor was huge because I could compare it to other cabins in Banff at higher rates. Our room on the 9th floor had some issues like a lamp without light, broken toilet, and noise from the ceiling fan and plumbing. However, the room size was great with ample cupboard space, especially being in a corner-type room.
