This was a great base to get to the sights in the Banff area. The staff at Hotel Canoe was great, Dorothy was quiet and wasn't busy, but was close enough to downtown to be walk-able.

Our stay was perfect! The room was clean and quiet. We had access to the amenities at their other hotel property across the street as well as their friendly and knowledgeable concierges who helped us book our tour bus to Lake Louise. Would recommended!

We stayed here at the end of August for 3 nights. It was a nice quiet location at the top of the strip, further away from all the action which we liked because it’s all walkable. Also they gave us free bus passes. The bus stop is only a few steps away so it was easy to hop on hop off to go for dinner or a hike up Tunnel Mountain. The room’s interior design was very fresh & modern with interesting artwork taking inspiration from women of the backcountry & nature. We loved being on the ground floor with access to the beautiful courtyard where we sat at a small bistro set outside our door & enjoyed the complimentary pour over coffee we received / prepared ourselves daily. The room had cozy beds & we loved that they supplied Rocky Mountain Soap products in the bathroom. There was plenty of parking & special access to the beautiful hot pools at the Canoe Hotel across the road which had a change room w/ lockers & towels - so it was easy to just walk over and have a dip with magnificent mountain views! We really enjoyed our stay at The Dorothy!

Very cute property ☺️ with the rooms being recently renovated they are fresh, clean, AC/heat works, and trendy if nice decor is your thing. Bathroom is spacious, lots of storage in the room, and the little fridge and microwave are a great addition too! There is a 7ft clearance to get to some of the parking and stairs to the upper rooms so keep that in mind for your stay.
