Overview

The Fox Hotel and Suites stands out in Banff for its whimsical cave-themed indoor pool — carved rock walls and dim lighting create a grotto-like atmosphere that kids and adults alike adore. Beyond the pool, the property offers a hot tub and steam room for relaxation, and Chili's restaurant provides familiar casual dining right in the building. The suites are genuinely spacious, featuring full kitchenettes with a stovetop, microwave, and fridge, making them practical for families who want to save on dining out. Located on the southern stretch of Banff Avenue, it's a pleasant walk to downtown shops and the Fenlands trail network along the Vermilion Lakes.
