Relaxing Retreats at the Fox Hotel & Suites in Banff

A view of Fox Hotel & Suites

Whenever my family and I visit Banff, our go-to accommodation is always the Fox Hotel & Suites. Over the years, we've developed a sort of loyalty to this cozy retreat, and for good reason. From the moment we arrive, we're greeted with warm smiles and a sense of familiarity that makes us feel right at home.

Amenities

One of the perks of staying at the Fox Hotel & Suites is the convenience of under-hotel parking, which makes unloading our luggage a breeze. And once we settle into our rooms, we're greeted by plush, comfortable beds that ensure a restful night's sleep after a day of exploring the Rockies.

But perhaps the highlight of our stay is the hotel's amenities. The sauna provides the perfect place to unwind and relax tired muscles after a day of hiking or skiing. And the underground hot springs offer a soothing soak that's the perfect remedy for any aches and pains.

Of course, we can't forget about the delicious continental breakfast offered at the hotel's built-in Chilis restaurant. The "help yourself" setup makes it easy to fuel up for a day of adventure, and the proximity to the town centre means we're never far from Banff's charming cafes and restaurants.

All in all, our stays at the Fox Hotel & Suites are always appreciated, thanks to its comfortable accommodations, convenient amenities, and friendly staff. It's become a home away from home for us, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
