About The Fox Hotel & Suites

The Fox Hotel & Suites puts you right on Banff Avenue, so you’re perfectly placed for the slopes and exploring Banff National Park. And getting around couldn’t be easier, with the ski shuttles stopping nearby and your room key even doubles as a complimentary Banff Roam bus pass, so getting around town or heading out for dinner after skiing is refreshingly simple. 

Back at the hotel, there’s a cosy, mountain lodge feel throughout, with plenty of spaces to recharge after a day outdoors. The standout? A cave-inspired hot pool tucked underground, designed to feel like a natural grotto hidden in the Rockies. There’s also a sauna and fitness room if you fancy unwinding or squeezing in a quick workout before heading out again.

Whether you’re planning a romantic ski escape or a family adventure in the Rockies, the Fox ticks all the right boxes. Rooms range from cosy doubles that are perfect for couples, to spacious two-bedroom suites with kitchenettes that give families and groups that little bit of extra space and flexibility. Available on a room-only or bed and breakfast basis, you can grab breakfast before heading to the slopes or spend your evenings discovering Banff’s buzzing food scene. And if you don’t feel like venturing far, Chili’s Grill & Bar serves up laid-back favourites from breakfast through to dinner right at the hotel.

Discover Banff

Banff is a dynamic town set in the spectacular Banff National Park. Whilst skiing is core to Banff's winter appeal, the town is host to many other popular winter activities, you can enjoy everything from dog-sledding, snowshoeing and relaxing in hot springs in one of Canada's most beautiful and oldest national parks.

Banff provides home-base to three distinctive ski resorts, and a triple area SkiBig3 lift pass covers all three - Mt Norquay (10 minutes drive), Sunshine Village (25 minutes drive) and Lake Louise (45 minutes drive). A regular and free ski bus service, included with your pre-booked lift pass, operates from our Banff hotels to all three ski areas.

Mount Norquay is often referred to as Banff’s 'local' hill but the resort should not be under-rated. It has easy trails but also some challenging ones too, such as Memorial Bowl, Temptation and Lone Pine. Sunshine Village has some of the highest skiing in Canada. It has three mountains: Mount Standish (with some of the easier trails) Lookout Mountain (high above the tree line with views across the Great Divide) and Goat’s Eye (with some of the best tree skiing on its lower slopes). Lake Louise offers one of the largest ski areas in North America with over 4,200 acres of skiable terrain. New terrain and chairlifts are continually being added to this beautiful area renowned for its jaw dropping glaciers, lakes and forests.

If you ski or snowboard all three (known as the Trifecta Challenge), along with bragging rights, you'll be rewarded. Stop by the SkiBig3 Adventure Hub on Banff Avenue and collect your reward which includes a FREE pint of beer for your efforts! 

More about Banff

Things to do in Banff

Head up the road to Lake Louise and discover arguably the world’s greatest ice rink. This iconic frozen lake, nestled at the foot of a glacier and surrounded by towering peaks, offers a truly magical skating experience. Whether you're twirling under the alpine sky or simply soaking in the views, it’s a must-do winter adventure while staying in Banff. Finish up the experience with a hot chocolate from the world famous Fairmont Hotel. 

Winter walking in Banff is a simple and rewarding way to explore the Rockies, with scenic trails running alongside the Bow River and through snow-covered forests. Wrap up warm with sturdy winter boots, and you’re ready to go. Looking for something different? We also offer a guided ice walk through Johnston Canyon, where frozen waterfalls and icy canyon walls come together for a winter experience that really sticks with you.

from £52pp

In winter, the Johnston Canyon becomes a magical wonderland of frozen waterfalls and towering ice formations. The Icewalk traverses a series of steel walkways built into the canyon walls, that give spectacular aerial views of the canyon below, while passing through prime wildlife habitat and learning how Johnston Canyon was formed. You can choose whether to do this guided walk in the daytime, or in the evening. The daytime walks complete the whole trail - roughly 5.4km of walking - the trail leads beyond the lower falls to the spectacular upper icefalls, a stunning 30-metre tower of ice rising overhead. For the evening walk, head torches are provided and you do a shorter route - around 2.2km - to the lower falls. A hot chocolate and maple cookie snack included on the route.
