The Juniper Bistro

Quiet (april visit),convenient to skiing. Lots parking. BISTRO FOOD IS OUTSTANDING! Burger deal! Super friendly staff! 20 min to Sunshine, hotel right by highway. Agree with others: concierge AWOL, too bad no hot tub, and no daily housekeeping unless you ask. The food, the views, convenient location keep us coming back! Discounts for multi day stay

This traditionally has been my favourite place to stay and usually stay 12 + nights year + book rooms for conferences for coworkers. The hot tub broke and they are in zero rush to replace it and being in Banff it is pretty much an expectation after a long day of skiing. Ownership has zero interest in replacing it nor does it advertise that it is not working prior to booking. If the hot tub gets going, I will return. Until then, I won’t.

The Juniper is across highway which makes for great views and a bit more silent of a stay - though if you plan on walking into the town center, you'll have to make your way across a couple texas gates! The hotel is extremely limited in amenities. The rooms are quite large but other than that - there is no hot tub, no supplied water bottles, no complimentary breakfast - only a very pricey breakfast is provided in the restaurant. The concierge is pretty MIA as well as we tried calling down a couple times with no response. For the same price as other hotels, I recommend staying elsewhere.

Got a booking during a deal! Need a place within 5 min driving distance from Banff? I would highly recommend this Hotel! Staff are friendly and accommodating, while the rooms are nice and tidy! One thing to mention is that they did not have an elevator so if you come needing support just let the staff know! Food was amazing, we had the duck wings from their Bistro which only required a quick walk down to the restaurant or a small delivery fee as well. Will be returning again!

This hotel is located across the highway from Banff, this makes it a bit quieter. The location is great and a nice walk into the town, so no need to pay for parking. There is lots of land to go for a peaceful walk or snowshoe in the winter. Ski at Morquay as it it just up the mountain. The hotel is lovely, interesting art in nooks and crannies in the halls and in the lobby. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The beds and pillows luxurious, I always sleep well here. There is a fabulous restaurant on site that serves breakfast or brunch I should say as it is available until about 1pm. Also supper is served although with Covid not necessarily every night. The food is fantastic, we've never had a bad dish there. Then menu is varied, wild meat, vegetarian, vegan and glutenfree are available. The patio is a favourite spot to sit and enjoy the view! This hidden gem is in full view and not to be missed.
