Room Types
Playful Tech-Forward Spaces with Retro Vibes
Breaking away from traditional lodge design, Moxy Banff offers industrial-chic, retro-themed guest rooms packed with clever, space-saving features.

Travellers traveling in groups can opt for the Quad Bunk Rooms, which feature custom-built adult bunk beds and playful retro decor.
Alternative Hotels to the Moxy Banff
Mount Royal Hotel
Best for travelers who want central history rather than retro-modern nightlife. It swaps out Moxy's playful, suburban-edge party atmosphere for a historic, upscale presence at the absolute center of Banff Avenue.
Hotel Canoe
Best for travellers who want a modern aesthetic but prefer a cozy, quiet wilderness cabin feel. It trades Moxy’s high-energy 1960s pop design for peaceful timber accents and outdoor hot pools.
The Juniper Hotel
Best for true retro enthusiasts who want quiet mid-century isolation. It trades Moxy's high-volume social party scene for a tranquil, historic architectural retreat on the side of a mountain.
