Canalta Lodge
Best for families and relaxed groups. It offers a similarly modern vibe but places a heavier emphasis on cozy, quirky common spaces like outdoor fire pits and hot tubs.

Best for travellers who want to be in the absolute centre of the action. It is located slightly more centrally on Banff Ave and offers a historic backstory compared to Elk + Avenue's purely modern build.
