By choosing Charltons Banff Hotel for their next getaway, guests embark on a journey of discovery, appreciation, and active participation in safeguarding the rich biodiversity of Banff National Park.
Imagine waking up in one of our Deluxe Mountain View Rooms to the sight of grazing elk outside your window or catching a glimpse of a majestic bear as you explore the nearby trails. Charltons Banff Hotel offers a front-row seat to nature's wonders, allowing you to appreciate the beauty and significance of the wildlife that inhabits this pristine wilderness. From spotting elusive woodland creatures to bird-watching sessions that reveal the diverse avian species in the area, every moment at Charltons Banff Hotel is an opportunity to deepen one's understanding of the delicate balance of nature.
When observing wildlife in person, keep these things in mind:
1. It is important not to feed or approach the animals.
2. It's crucial to keep a safe distance and avoid any interactions that could potentially harm you or the wildlife.
What you might see:
The Banff National Park is home to hundreds of different species of wildlife. You may see bald eagles circling overhead, or one of 260 other bird species living here. Bears, moose, elk, wolves, and cougars roam the peaks and valleys. You may even see bighorn sheep bounding up the hillsides as you drive through the park's mountain roads.
Responsible wildlife viewing:
When observing wildlife, it’s important to remember that we are visitors in their home. Provide them with plenty of space and never give them food. In fact, it’s illegal to feed, touch or even approach wild animals. During certain times of year, areas may see closures to keep both you and wildlife safe. The Parks Canada website has plenty of information on wildlife safety and how you can do your part to help preserve the ecology of the park!

“My first impression of The Charltons Banff was a very good one. We had arrived hours before check in and knew we'd never find a parking space in town. The staff let me park at the hotel long before check in time. Later, they let us borrow a can of bear spray for all our hikes so we didn't have to buy it. They were super friendly, and we really enjoyed our stay. Our room on the first floor was nice with a comfortable queen bed and a large bathroom with separate tub and shower. We had plenty of space and were very comfortable. The location is a bit out from the main tourist area of town, so keep that in mind if you don't like walking. We do, and the 12 to 15 minute walk into the shopping district of Banff Avenue was no problem at all. If you”
-A nice place in the heart of Banff, Greg S.“This was our first visit to Banff and the Charlton’s Banff Hotel exceeded our expectations. The room was clean and comfortable and the location of the hotel was excellent. The front desk personnel were very friendly and accommodating. We would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay there again the next time we visit the area. ”
-Cathy B,“Good location and amenities! Rooms were modern, spacious and had a view! The pool was awesome!”
-Excellent, Steven J. - Alberta Canada“This is the second time we have stayed at Charltons and with good reason. The rooms are more than spacious for the two of us and had everything we needed on our stay. We arrived late due to a delayed flight and we were greeted graciously by the reception who said they were expecting us and offered food options in the area at such a late hour on a Sunday, having been travelling for nearly 24 hours at that point. The location is also pretty good, it takes about 10 minutes to walk into the centre, with an IGA supermarket nearby too”
-Been here twice now for a reason, Fortune T.“Don't hesitate to stay here, we had a loft room and it was great. Very comfortable bed, good shower pressure, well kept and clean room. We were able to also book ourselves into the pool for the 30 min time-slot, and we also enjoyed that. Very friendly front desk staff. Overall we were very pleased and definitely recommend this hotel! ”
