The smoke-free King Edward Hotel Banff provides tour/ticket assistance, and a central location, about 25 minutes' walk from the Fairmont Banff Springs. Right around the corner from Banff Avenue, this 2-star hotel with 21 rooms features currency exchange and a vending machine.

Location

The low-key Canada House Art Gallery is located 450 metres from the hotel, and such natural sites as the Cascade of Time Garden is merely 0.8 km away. The King Edward Banff provides easy access to the Buffalo Nations Luxton Museum, which is approximately a 10-minute walk away.

Guests might as well enjoy proximity to Banff Avenue Park, situated 100 metres away. The property is also a few moments from the large waterfall "Bow Falls" and Brewster bus station is nearly a 5-minute ride away.

Rooms

The rooms at King Edward Hotel have a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, along with tea and coffee making equipment for your convenience. The private bathrooms include a separate toilet and a shower.

Eat & Drink

Eddie Burger & Bar is ideal for tasting American cuisine and is situated just a few steps from this Banff hotel.

Leisure & Business

Thanks to a golf course, guests can stay fit at the accommodation.

“King Edward Hotel places you squarely on Banff Avenue, amidst the bustle of shops and restaurants; the location is undeniably prime. What struck me is the staff's genuine helpfulness, a quality that elevates a stay, even without air conditioning. For those prioritizing location and service, and seeking value, this hotel is definitely worth considering.”
