“Lovely hotel in the mountains”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 19, 2013

We spent 4 nights at the Rimrock in Banff. The hotel is tucked slightly outside of town up Sulphur Mountain. The views from the hotel are fantastic. This hotel is a first class hotel and I would highly recommend it. The couple small details that keep me from giving it a five are as follows:
- the rooms are very nice with terrific views. The bathrooms are fine - clean, large enough, etc but the bathtubs are small and this dates it.
- The room was quite hot at night and we had a bit of difficult with the thermostat.
- the pillows are not 5-star pillows and anyone who has read any of my reviews knows I am a stickler for wonderful pillows.
- the coffee shop which is very nice and a real treat at 6:30 am was not open one morning. This was a problem for us as we needed to be on the ski hill and had relied on this being open for breakfast. Not a big deal if you are not time constrained. All other days it was open. The first day on Thursday morning the muffins were fresh and warm. On the Saturday they were cold and just not quite as wonderful - another tiny detail.

Overall - the restaurant menus are fantastic - the food is very good in all the restaurants, the lobby is very cozy with the huge fireplace - a great meeting place for drinks. The gym and pool are very good. The service is very good.

With a bit more attention to those tiny details, I would give them a five.

Room Tip: You will need a car if you stay here or a shuttle to down town Banff. It is too far to walk on a reg...

“Beauty in Canada's Rockies”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 19, 2013

THis hotel is virtually in my back yard, about a two hour drive. If you have never been to banff, you owe it to yourself to go! The city is beautiful Quaint. Almost like a Swiss village, perhaps Zermatt. And just across the ricer up towards the mountain and Cable car sits the beautiful RimRock hotel. Surrounded by tall pines, this hotel is unique in The world. The lobby is beautiful, very much like a modern Mountain Chateau should be like. The rooms are modern and luxurious. Not really a bad view, as you are surrounded by the Canadian Rockies! Don't be surprised to see a herd of Elk walking amongst the tree's or even in the parking lot. Big Horn Sheep, and the odd Moose. The food is superb, the restaurants both comfortable and elegant. It tends to be on the higher end price than most others, but it is well worth it. A gem in Canada's Rockies. And in my view the best hotel in Banff. OH and don't forget, Skiing is all around you. 40 minutes to Sunshine, a bit further to lake Louise. And you come home to total luxury. Sumer time, hiking, biking, golf, banff has it all!

Room Tip: Ask what the view is. But you can't miss our Mountains! And it is always good to ask sq. footage...

“Excellent!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 16, 2013 via mobile

We will be back! Excellent service, wonderful hotel. Breakfast buffet with children's option is really family-friendly. Amazing views from the north wing. Away from the bustle of downtown, close enough to sights and events. We had a wonderful Christmas holiday!
