BOOKING NOW OPEN!
In the heart of the Canadian Rockies, Banff is a place where soaring peaks, turquoise lakes, and whispering evergreens create a landscape that feels both majestic and deeply calming. One of Canada’s oldest and most cherished mountain destinations, Banff has been welcoming travellers for well over a century—ever since the discovery of its natural hot springs and the building of the early railway turned this rugged region into a haven for adventurers, artists, and seekers of beauty. Today, its alpine charm, charming townsite and breathtaking vistas invite you to slow down and breathe deeply, whether you’re wandering forest trails, curling up with a book, or simply soaking in the mountain views from every direction. It’s a destination shaped by wonder and wanderlust—a truly unforgettable setting for a restorative retreat.
