Banff Ptarmigan Inn

3-star

337 Banff Avenue, Banff, Alberta, Canada

Right on Banff Avenue in the heart of downtown, Banff Ptarmigan Inn gives you a simple, central base built around a courtyard. It's a well-suited pick if you want to be a 5-minute walk from the shops and restaurants, with hot tubs and a sauna waiting for you back at the inn.

Location & What's Nearby 


Banff Ptarmigan Inn sits right on Banff Avenue, around a 5-minute walk from the centre of downtown Banff. Bow Falls is further out, at around a 25-minute walk, so a short drive is the easier option if you want to see it. Vermilion Lakes and Mount Norquay are both a short drive away, and Banff Upper Hot Springs is around a 10-minute drive too. Calgary International Airport is around a 90-minute drive. 

Why We Recommend It 


We often suggest the Ptarmigan Inn for travellers who want to be within easy walking distance of downtown Banff without paying for a big resort stay. The two hot tubs and sauna are a welcome way to unwind after a day of hiking or skiing, and the courtyard layout gives it a bit more character than a standard motel strip. It's a solid, practical base for couples or families visiting Banff for the first time. Our Banff getaway ideas page has more on how to build it into your trip.
