Unforgettable
This was such a unique experience for us ... the location was beautiful...so so high up in the mountains...the 15 minute gondola ride from where your car is parked to the actual hotel was SPECTACULAR!!! And the breathtaking alpine meadow trails up there were my favorite hikes of our whole Banff trip. Only thing to remember if you're going in summer is they don't have air conditioning in the rooms BUT we were fine with leaving the windows open. Very decent food options and friendly service.

Sunshine Mountain is such a fun place to stay. The staff are amazing; professional, knowledgeable ands very helpful. James was our guide for an interpretive walk and he was a wealth of knowledge. I do suggest getting some type of heater for the staff who have to sit and greet guests after they exit the gondola, it was too cold for them to only have a blanket to keep them warm. thank you

The property was nice and you have to take a gondola up to the lodge. It was both really nice and sort of an annoyance because it takes 20 mins up the mountain to get to your room and if you forget anything, you have to take the same gondola down and come back up which takes about 40 mins on its own. The view was spectacular but the food options were limited and there wasn’t anything to do in the village. The rooms are dated but that’s the theme I guess. But overall it was a good experience.

We had to drag our bags 200yds. Up the hill to the sign in desk. No refrigerator, no microwave, no air conditioning, no heat. I've stayed in some really cheap hotels but they always had those things.

Wow! Can't wait to go back again.
We were just there for one night, but the gondola ride up and back was fun and beautiful. The highlight was the hike after taking the chairlift ride further up the mountain. The hot tub, fire with s'mores, and the restaurant were all very enjoyable. We'll definitely try to stay here again.

So during the day there’s a gondola that takes you to the main hotel property and takes about 20 mins to get there and it’s gorgeous! People pay just to use the gondola so we ended up cancelling the Banff gondola because we got to go on this one everyday! Once you get up to the property the staff is so kind and nice. The room was gorgeous it was a two story loft with a fireplace and huge windows, they upgraded us for our birthday and it was amazing. The resort is a famous ski resort but in the summer they have a lot of hiking trails, outdoor soaking tub, spa & various food options. In the early mornings and late evening they have a car to take you up and down. It’s a beautiful property and very unique, the only thing is make sure you put aside at least 30 mins to count down to go to your car and then drive to wherever you want to go, if you are out and about everyday it’s just something you want to take into consideration but it’s an amazing experience and stay!! They also leave chocolates for you every day, so cute.

If you are planning on spending time in the town, this s not the right hotel for you. The hotel is for skiing activities, convenient to go up the mountain. It is not top of the line services nor installations. The town has great hotels or air b&b’s and better food choices.

Unique and fun stay
A fun experience with 25 minute gondola ride to get to the property (they’ll take your luggage by car for you). Definitely take the ski lift at the top for a gorgeous view. The restaurant in the lodge was OK, but would recommend Trappers (bar & grill) across from the lodge instead.

I loved the location of the hotel. Upon checking in we discovered that we needed to book a reservation on the hotel shuttle to get back to our car. We needed to leave around 7:30 and the only available sports were at 6 AM. The room was too warm even with the AC on so I opened the window on our 3rd floor room and we had the smell of marijuana smoke much of the night.

This lodge is at the top of the mountain. To get there they put you on a Gondela that takes 10-15 minutes (if there are no stops). At least in the summer the hours are 8am - 6pm. After or before that you need to use their shuttle bus. If you need to check out before 8AM make sure you sign up for your shuttle ASAP as they fill up. Plenty of summertime walking trails if you haven't already walked enough in the Banf Park!
