Our History
Our hotel group has been providing accommodation in Banff National Park since 1949. It began with Charlton Cedar Court, Banff’s first year-round tourist accommodation.
Charlton’s second property, Evergreen Court, was replaced with the outstanding Royal Canadian Lodge in 2000. Over the years this luxury full-service hotel has set a high standard for accommodation in Banff.
In 2019, Royal Canadian Lodge underwent extensive room renovations in following our commitment to provide the best experience for our valued guests.
In 2022, Royal Canadian Lodge and Charltons Banff were acquired by InnVest Hotels, who are dedicated to the preservation of Banff National Park and to the overall visitor experience.
In 2024, InnVest Hotels acquired a third property, Banff Inn, forming the Banff Collection.
UNESCO World Heritage Site
Banff is part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Banff National Park, established in 1885, was Canada’s first national park. Every year, millions of people from around the world travel to the area to marvel at the park’s natural beauty, explore hiking trails, ski the slopes, and experience the unforgettable activities and attractions available to them.
Banff National Park is within the present-day territories of the Treaty 6, 7, and 8 First Nations as well as the Métis Homeland. The lands and waters of Banff have been used for millennia by Indigenous Peoples for sustenance, ceremony, trade and travel, contributing to the rich cultural heritage of the area.
The Banff Collection by InnVest Hotels is proud to operate hotels in the national park and welcome guests and tourists to these stunning lands. It is our commitment to honour, to uphold, to educate and to preserve the legacy of the Indigenous community and their picturesque land that we are so fortunate to experience every day.
