Surrounded by soaring peaks, pristine forests, and crystal-clear rivers, the property offers a sanctuary of tranquility and elegance in the heart of Banff National Park.

The story of the hotel dates back to the 1940s, when it opened as a modest ski lodge welcoming adventurers to the mountains. Over the years it has grown into one of Canada’s most celebrated destinations, admired for its charm, service, and understated luxury. Today, the Post Hotel & Spa holds a reputation as a Relais & Châteaux property, recognized internationally for its commitment to hospitality at the highest level.

Architecture and design reflect both history and refinement. The signature red roof and timber exteriors are a reminder of the lodge’s alpine heritage, while the interiors create a warm and sophisticated ambiance. Wood-paneled walls, stone fireplaces, and inviting lounges evoke a sense of comfort, with each detail carefully chosen to harmonize with the natural surroundings.

Many feature fireplaces, private balconies, and whirlpool tubs, offering both comfort and privacy. Furnished with natural wood, soft linens, and thoughtful accents, the rooms balance rustic charm with modern amenities, ensuring a restful stay for every guest.

Culinary excellence is central to the experience at the Post Hotel & Spa. The main dining room is renowned for its refined menus, which highlight regional flavors alongside European influences. Meals are presented in an elegant setting enhanced by candlelight and attentive service. For more casual occasions, guests can enjoy a fondue experience in the Swiss-inspired dining room or gather in the English-style pub for hearty fare. Complementing the cuisine is one of Canada’s most impressive wine cellars, featuring an extensive collection of vintages carefully curated to elevate each meal.

Wellness and relaxation are woven into the hotel’s identity. The spa provides a complete retreat for the senses, with a Roman-style saltwater pool, steam rooms, and a wide variety of treatments. From restorative massages to rejuvenating facials, the spa encourages guests to slow down and embrace a rhythm of calm. After a day on the slopes or exploring the trails, it becomes a haven of renewal.
