Overview

Elkhorn Lodge is a budget-friendly accommodation right on Banff Avenue, offering basic but clean rooms at some of the most competitive rates in downtown Banff. The lodge is no-frills by design — the focus is on providing a clean, comfortable bed in the best possible location for travellers who plan to spend their days exploring the mountains rather than lounging in a hotel. The central location means everything in Banff is within walking distance, from restaurants and shops to the Roam transit system for reaching trailheads and the ski resort. A practical choice for active travellers on a budget.
