The building's history as a former movie house inspired the creative design, with vintage film projectors in the lobby, film-noir photography on the walls, and rooms named after classic Canadian films. Downstairs, Where the Buffalo Roam Saloon has become one of Canmore's most popular bars, serving craft cocktails and local beers in a rustic-chic setting.
