Fabulous Stay at Otter Hotel
The staff were amazing, kind and very helpful in assisting us with room needs and in coordinating touring details.
The hotel restaurant is one of a kind in delectable creative selections. We enjoyed the variety of flavors and presentations. Waiters were helpful with recommendations.

The Otter Hotel exceeded our expectations! Everything was new, well thought out, with special details like coffee and cream choices each morning, robes, and high-quality soaps for the bathroom.

High praises! Great stay!
We loved our stay at The Otter and would definitely stay again. It’s very conveniently located close to downtown and right across the street from a bus stop (bus pass included with your hotel stay). Loved the room, the hot pools & gym, the restaurant…nothing but praises. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Stunning hot pool views, exceptional staff, and spotless accommodations made our stay memorable. The complimentary three-day in-town bus pass was a great perk. The restaurant’s food and cocktails were fantastic—we highly recommend it!

Loved the rooftop pool, super comfy beds & delicious coffee/tea menu! The restaurant’s eggs Benny was so good we had to repeat it!
Very nice hotel, over priced for what you get. Hottubs at the top though were a big plus

One of the best hotels we stayed in Banff. Highly recommended. The room has the vibe of Japanese minimalism, beautifully designed, very functional and clean. Hot tub was cozy and had a view. Staff service was very helpful giving us utensils and refills of oat milk and tea.

Otter Hotel - Well Worth the Stay
Great hotel and fantastic service! All amenities were fabulous and so was the restaurant - Good Folk!
The only issue is the wifi signal, while it is FREE, its choppy at best unless you are towards the front of the building.
But you can't beat the price, the renovations are upscale!
