Our hotel has been providing accommodation in Banff National Park since 1949. Beginning with Banff’s first year-round tourist accommodation, Charlton Cedar Court. Over decades, transformations have taken place to develop this beloved property that has provided fond memories for generations.
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 seta high standard for accommodation in Banff. In 2019, the hotel underwent extensive room renovations in following our commitment to provide the best experience for our valued guests.
In 2022, the hotels were acquired by Innvest Hotels who are committed to the preservation of Banff National Park and to the overall visitor experience.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site
Established in 1885, Banff National Park is Canada’s first and now oldest National Park. The park is visited every year by people from every corner of the world taking in the natural beauty, the 1,600 kilometers of hiking trails and the 3 world-renowned ski resorts to name a few.
Banff National Park is located within the current territories of the Treaty 6, 7, and 8 First Nations, as well as the Métis Homeland. The Indigenous peoples have utilized the lands and waters of Banff for millennia 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.
“Wonderful stay in Banff....”
“This hotel is in a great location. It is about a 10 minute walk into the shopping area in Banff. There are sidewalks all the way. We had a lovely corner room - the hotel was a very quiet place to stay. The staff at every level were polite and accommodating. There is underground parking. Lots of good places to eat within walking distance. Definitely on my list of great places to stay in Banff!”
- Kathy A.“Excellent”
“This is our fifth stay in this hotel over the last several years. We always enjoy our stay here. It’s nice and quiet and comfortable. We had a king size room with fireplace and it was great. One thing that we really enjoy about this hotel is there swimming pool hot tub and steam room. It is absolutely beautiful in their pool area. It’s one of the best ones we’ve been too. The food in the restaurant is also very good. We definitely will be back again next year. ”

“The rooms were so nice. We stayed at a very famous luxury hotel the night before and our room at the Royal Canadian Lodge was much nicer for less than half the price! I will definitely be staying here again!”

“Our first trip to Banff and we are so pleased we stayed at The Royal Canadian. Heated, covered parking with your window cleaned every morning is representative of the small touches that separate this from other places. Hot cocoa and cookies every night in the lobby were the perfect ending to busy days. With John at the front desk, Jakob and Dillon as concierges, Rachel and Amber as servers, you're in great hands. No question went unanswered, down to how the most excellent rolls were made in hous”
