Hotel Overview
The historic Mount Royal Hotel Banff is centrally located at the corner of Banff Ave and Caribou Street in Banff city. It is close to business areas, downtown, shopping centres and to the Banff National Park. Well served by public transport it is possible to reach the most attractive destinations of the city in few minutes. The Mount Royal Hotel's history dates back to 1908 when it opened for business. Originally called the Banff Hotel, the red brick structure complete with a lead roof, boasted 60 rooms as well as a spacious dining room and billiard room. It was opened by Dave and Annie McDougall of Morley Alberta at a time when Banff was little more than a CP Rail outpost gaining some recognition as a starting point for guided backcountry adventures in the Canadian Rockies. Highly recommended.
