The View From Here
We’re Canada’s iconic “Castle in the Rockies” at the base of Rundle Mountain in Banff National Park. We’re always looking up and our gold standard service means we’re always aiming high. But when it comes to awards and accolades, we’re always humbled by the big impression we make on guests who visit us. We hope you agree.
