Overview

The King Edward Hotel is a Banff institution — a historic building on the main strip that's been part of the town's social fabric for over a century. The hotel sits above the legendary Eddie Burger + Bar, one of Banff's most popular watering holes known for its gourmet burgers and craft beer selection. Rooms are basic and no-frills, but you're paying for the most central location in town and instant access to Banff's nightlife scene. Solo travellers, backpackers, and social butterflies will feel right at home here.
