A Stash Partner Hotel
Stay at Banff's only mountaintop hotel.
Perched at 7,200 feet in Banff National Park, Sunshine Mountain Lodge stands alone as the area's only true mountaintop sanctuary. This boutique hideaway offers unparalleled access to pristine powder in winter and alpine meadows in summer, all while wrapped in sophisticated mountain luxury.
Your private peak in the heart of the Canadian Rockies.
Your journey begins at the base lodge check-in, where hotel staff will collect your luggage and deliver it straight to your room while you enjoy a scenic twenty-minute gondola ride to 7,200 feet. Upon arrival, everyday life fades into thin air, replaced by an intimate atmosphere that mirrors its surroundings—wild yet refined, adventurous yet peaceful. Life slows down at altitude, creating space for both grand adventures and quiet moments of alpine serenity.
Extraordinary luxury surrounded by breathtaking scenery.
Contemporary mountain décor and sweeping alpine views await in every room, creating the perfect basecamp for Banff's legendary ski terrain, right outside the door. Premium accommodations raise the bar, while suites take luxury even further with soaring 27-foot glass walls and heated bathroom floors—most with private balconies, offering a front-row seat to the first tracks carving through fresh powder on crisp winter mornings. To make the most of the mountains, lodge guests enjoy seamless gondola access throughout their stay. Skiers can purchase full lift tickets, which include access to both the gondola and ski lifts, while guests not hitting the slopes are treated to a hotel gondola ticket—perfect for a scenic ride through the alpine landscape and a chance to take in Banff's breathtaking winter views. After conquering some of the world's best snow, unwind in Banff's largest outdoor hot tub beneath star-studded skies, or find deeper relaxation at Verde Day Spa with organic massages and treatments.
Mountain air sharpens the appetite, and dining here rises to the occasion. Start your day with fresh pastries at Java Lift Coffee Bar. For all-day dining, check out The Chimney Corner, where fireside comfort meets a hearty menu. There are a few fantastic lunch options, including NIKKO, where you can enjoy four different flavors of ramen, and Mad Trappers Public House, perfect for a quick bite or a well-deserved après-ski pint. For dinner, savor locally sourced bison and Alberta beef with panoramic mountain views at Eagle's Nest Canadian Bistro.
