Bow View Lodge
Riverfront lodge with downtown access and nearby spa amenities
About this stay
The Bow View Lodge offers a prime location right on the Bow River, providing a serene backdrop for your Banff National Park adventure. Most guest rooms feature river views, allowing you to wake up to the tranquil sounds and sights of the water. While the lodge itself offers comfortable accommodations with essential amenities like a cable TV and private bathroom, the real draw is its proximity to both nature and town. You're just a short walk from Banff's vibrant city centre, with its shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions. For relaxation and activity, guests can use a nearby swimming pool, fitness centre, and sauna, useful after a day of exploring the Rockies.

Our take
I would choose Bow View Lodge for its riverfront setting on the Bow River and its short walk to Banff city centre. Rooms have a cable TV, a seating area and a private bathroom, with river views in some, and a launderette is on site. The swimming pool, fitness centre and sauna are nearby rather than in the lodge, so plan for a short trip to use them. Guests rate it 8.0 across more than twelve hundred reviews. I would pick it for the location.
- ✓Ask for a room with a river view to make the most of the lodge's prime location.
- ✓Take advantage of the short walk to Banff city centre for dining and exploring.
- ✓Plan to use the nearby swimming pool, fitness centre, and sauna for a complete stay.
