Banff begins right outside the door, with Banff Avenue around the corner and mountain trails, the Banff Gondola, and Lake Minnewanka all within easy reach. Inside, the Rockies shape every room. Handcrafted pine furnishings fill the rooms, Pendleton blankets fold over the beds, and historic photos from the Brewster archives line the walls. The staff is local, so you can count on recommendations that go beyond the usual guidebook favorites.

Generations of mountain hospitality.

Each guestroom brings its own character to the lodge. Standard rooms provide a cozy place to recharge, while Deluxe rooms step up the comfort with seating areas and jetted bathtubs. For more space to settle in, Loft Suites feature split-level layouts, while the four top-floor Brewster Suites offer vaulted ceilings and mountain views. Plus, designated dog-friendly rooms mean your four-legged travel companion can come along too. When you're not out exploring, linger in the outdoor courtyard, work up a sweat in the fitness area, or warm up in the dry cedar sauna.

Each morning begins with a buffet-style continental breakfast in the Breakfast Nook. When hunger calls again, step outside to find restaurants, craft beer, and plenty of cafés within easy walking distance. Menus range from casual Canadian mountain fare to flavors from around the world.
