Sunshine Mountain Lodge
The upscale Sunshine Mountain Lodge at the Sunshine Village ski resort is very unique in that it’s the only ski-in ski-out or on-mountain lodging at the Banff ski resorts.
The rooms and restaurants at Sunshine Mountain Lodge provide spectacular views across the ski resort and mountains. It’s pretty decadent at the end of the ski day when all the day trippers have to go back to town, to stay on-mountain in this unique environment. You can have a relaxing apres ski drink knowing that you don’t have to drive back to Banff, have a soak in the hot pool, and possibly head to the day spa for a relaxing massage or treatment.
