Uptown Banff’s latest addition is the definition of mountain luxury. Unwind in rooftop hot pools or stay warm and cozy by the firepits; both have a postcard-perfect view of the iconic Cascade mountain. On the main floor, Good Folk serves contemporary Canadian cuisine and cocktails in an intimate setting.

Insider Tip: Head up to the rooftop just before sunset to see the alpenglow on Cascade.

Indulge in a massage at the Meadow Spa, take five in the spa lounge, then head to the rooftop to watch the sunset. The hot pools gaze out at Banff’s famous Cascade summit, so you can watch the light transition through golden hour without getting chilly. Plus, there’s a private hot pool just for spa guests – if you’re after a quieter, more serene vibe.

Tip: Pair an afternoon treatment with an evening rooftop soak for the perfect après-ski.

Tucked up on Tunnel Mountain, the Hidden Ridge Resort is well away from the hustle and bustle of town. The outdoor hot pools feel rustic and relaxed – ideal if you prefer a quieter scene. You’ll have breathtaking views across the entire valley and Banff town, and wildlife sightings are common.

Insider Tip: For an even more exclusive experience – reserve the Premier King Condo which has a private balcony hot tub.

Pack small comforts. Our hotels provide you with a warm robe, slip-resistant slippers, and towels so you’ll be all set. To stay extra warm and cozy, a beanie goes a long way for snowy winter bathing. Keep water or herbal tea nearby to stay hydrated at altitude and especially in the summer.

Use the setting. Leave your phone in your room and really immerse yourself in your surroundings. Pair a spa treatment with your soak for full-body and mind recovery, and don’t forget to make time for one last dip before checkout.
