Rimrock Banff
Quiet mountain luxury. Refined but not stuffy — the kind of place where the view from your bed does most of the talking. The design language leans into natural materials, warm tones, and the surrounding wilderness rather than competing with it.

Why It Matters
The only ultra-luxury hotel in Banff National Park perched directly on Sulphur Mountain, adjacent to the Banff Gondola and Upper Hot Springs. As North America's first Emblems Collection property, the 2026 reopening introduces the first thermal wellness bathing facility of its kind in the destination, alongside a vinyl listening lounge, signature Canadian terroir restaurant, and guided wilderness expeditions run by in-house 'Pathfinders'.
Carved into the slopes of Sulphur Mountain above Banff's Bow Valley, Rimrock Banff is the first Emblems Collection hotel in North America — Accor's ultra-luxury brand defined by character-rich properties with a strong sense of place. Currently closed for a full property-wide renovation, it reopens July 2026 with 320 redesigned rooms, a new 9,600 sq ft two-storey Bathhouse wellness facility, four new dining concepts, and an outdoor infinity pool overlooking the national park.
Where You'll Stay
12 room types available
Classic Room
The entry-level room delivers treetop forest views and mountain quiet. Natural wood accents, soft lighting, and clean lines make it a solid home base for anyone spending most of their time outdoors. Occupies 1-4 adults.
1 King or 2 Queens · 32 sqmLuxury Peak View Room
High above the valley, these rooms open to views of mountain peaks and the valleys below. Morning light traces the ridgelines from your bed. Same size as the Classic, but the view is the real upgrade.
1 King or 2 Queens · 32 sqmPremium Forest View Room
Same footprint as the Classic Room but with upgraded forest views — evergreens reaching toward the light framing the windows. A step up for those who want a connection to the forested slopes without paying for a full mountain panorama.
1 King or 2 Queens · 32 sqmRimrock One Bedroom King Suite
A true one-bedroom layout at 600 sq ft — separate living space with natural textures and warm tones. Hotel-facing view, but the extra room to breathe makes this the right call for longer stays or those wanting to feel at home.
1 King · 55 sqmRimrock Peak View One Bedroom King Suite
One-bedroom layout at 600 sq ft, elevated vantage point with mountain peak and valley views from both the bedroom and living space. Light shifts quietly across the ridgelines throughout the day.
1 King · 55 sqmRimrock Vista View One Bedroom King Suite
The panoramic suite experience — sweeping views of Mount Rundle and endless Banff peaks from 600 sq ft of one-bedroom space. This is the room guests rave about on reviews. Views from both the bedroom and the separate living area.
1 King · 55 sqmRimrock Vista View Room
The top-tier standard guestroom. Sweeping views that move with the light — peaks, clouds tracing the horizon, the forest shifting below. King bed only, designed for two.
1 King · 32 sqm
Studio King Suite
A step up in space — 400 sq ft of refined living with soft textures and natural tones. Hotel-facing view (not the mountain panorama), but generous room to spread out and unwind without the suite-level price tag of the peak view options.
1 King · 37 sqmStudio Peak View Suite
400 sq ft of space plus the mountain panorama. Expansive views fill the horizon from both the sleeping and living areas. The sweet spot between suite-level space and a proper Rockies view.
1 King · 37 sqmThe Infinity Two Bedroom Suite
The showstopper. At 1,150 sq ft with floor-to-ceiling windows, a fireplace, and a terrace that's a destination in itself, this two-bedroom suite fits up to 6 adults. The terrace comes with a firetable and a handcrafted barrel sauna — you watch the shifting light across the Rockies while sitting in it. This is the kind of room people book for anniversaries and honeymoons.
1 King · 106 sqmVista View One Bedroom King Suite, Private Terrace
The Vista View suite with the added bonus of a private terrace — sweeping mountain views from both inside and out. Step outside and the Rockies are right there. A strong choice for anyone who wants to start mornings with coffee and panoramic views.
1 King · 55 sqm
Wellness Studio Peak View, Private Terrace
The wellness-focused option. At 600 sq ft with a private terrace, this room comes equipped with Therabody recovery equipment, yoga gear, and aromatherapy. A proper in-room wellness setup alongside mountain peak views from the terrace.
