Overview

Bow View Lodge sits in one of the most scenic budget-friendly locations in Banff, right on the banks of the Bow River with unobstructed views of Cascade Mountain. The lodge offers simple, well-maintained rooms that are spotlessly clean โ€” exactly what you need after a long day of hiking or skiing. Its location on Bow Avenue means you're just a two-minute walk from the heart of downtown Banff, yet far enough to enjoy the quiet sounds of the river. For travellers who want to spend their budget on experiences rather than extravagant rooms, the Bow View Lodge delivers outstanding value.
