Traveling with a pet to Banff means choosing a hotel that welcomes your four-legged companion. Most pet-friendly properties in Banff are clustered along Banff Avenue and Tunnel Mountain, placing you within walking distance of trails, shops, and restaurants. Expect to pay between C$150 and C$600 per night depending on season and amenities. Many hotels charge a one-time pet fee (typically C$25-C$50) and may restrict dog sizes or breeds. Always confirm the pet policy before booking.
Among the top-rated options, Fairmont Banff Springs (a Scottish Baronial castle) offers 11 restaurants, a 32-metre lap pool, and a full-service spa-pets allowed with a fee. For a modern twist, Moose Hotel and Suites features rooftop hot pools with mountain views and Meadow Spa. Rimrock Banff, Emblems Collection sits near the Upper Hot Springs with two pools and a fitness centre. If you prefer apartment-style lodging, The Hidden Ridge Resort on Tunnel Mountain provides full kitchens and wood-burning fireplaces. All of these hotels allow pets, making Banff a genuinely dog-friendly destination.
