British Columbia Bed and Breakfast Canada Innkeepers Guild

Banff National Park is set in the heart of the Canadian Rockies. It attracts roughly 4 million visitors each year. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.  The Town of Banff is a unique destination, and they take pride in accommodating visitors and providing tourism services, without losing the charm of a small mountain community. The Town of Banff is in the province of Alberta in the southwestern corner of Banff National Park, and west of Calgary. The townsite is about 90 minutes from Calgary via the Trans Canada Highway, and less than two hours from Calgary International Airport. The Hamlet of Lake Louise is 50 minutes further west, also within Banff National Park.  Because the Town of Banff is less than 4 km square in size and surrounded by mountain parkland and wilderness, the community really does share its space with the wildlife. Banff Bed and Breakfast operators will tell you Elk, sheep and bear sightings are not uncommon in this town filled with trees, parks and trails.
