A great addition to Banff!
I had a wonderful stay at the Otter! Rooms were modern and comfortable, and I enjoyed the selection of coffee and tea they offered to make in the room. The staff were incredibly friendly, and made this solo traveler feel less lonely.

Brand new hotel with lots of potential
Though we stayed at this hotel during the final stages of construction (mainly of the amenities), it was an extremely pleasant experience with clean rooms, easy parking, a lovely bar/restaurant, and extremely nice staff. Would definitely consider going back!

Otter Hotel's exceptional service
I don't typically leave reviews, but the Otter Hotel significantly exceeded our expectations. Multiple times, the staff anticipated needs or went above and beyond to offer great service.

We decided on a weekend getaway and the service and stay were amazing. We brought our dog and they gave him toys and treats when we checked in and had a water bowl and bed brought up before we arrived. The rooms were great, bed and pillows were very comfy and the layout of the rooms really felt perfect, not too open but not too tight either. Hottubs were currently closed but were able to go next door to Canoe to use theirs, was about a 3 min walk from the room.

Great hotel
Loved our stay at the Otter. The staff was great. Restaurant attached was top notch. The hot pools weren’t open yet but it was a nice touch that we could use the ones at the hotel beside it. Only complaint was the bed wasn’t as comfortable as I liked and the halls and elevator were extremely hot. I would stay again despite this because everything else made up for it.
