Great location for ski in-ski out at Sunshine. We had a fantastic stay for summer skiing! The after hours shuttle to and from the base was very useful. We also loved the large hot tub and nightly S’Mores. The staff were universally friendly and helpful. Wonderful stay.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The location at a skiing resort on the top of the mountain with rides up to higher locations for the scenic beauty was awesome. Taking the shuttle or gondola up or down from the lodge was a 20 minute ride but was never a problem. They also provided a shuttle to Banff so you didn’t need to worry about parking.

Great staff, awesome room, can’t beat the view! We didn’t ski but the runs were well maintained and we loved all that this hotel had to offer. Temp control could have been a bit better but we figured it out with the fresh air from the window. Great in house restaurants and neat little bar. We will be back for sure! Also great shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and skin cream. Wish they’d sell it but front desk gave us a care package when we enquired about it. Awesome place!

8/10 Very good

It was a great stay for my family. What an experience for us. Super clean and friendly staff. Only issue we had was at check in and check out. Not the staffs fault but computer issues and needing to address reservations better for 3 parties like Expedia for instance. My stay was paid in full and the front desk had a hard time seeing that. Besides that it was great.

It was a unique experience I would highly recommend for people who enjoy outdoor activities and/ appreciate its beautiful setting. I would not recommend for persons with mobility issues. I would also recommend bringing your own food unless your party does not include fussy eaters or your budget is not restricted. That being said, there is no kitchen in the room to prepare food and the fridge is very small.

If you're looking for a view from the top - well, almost the top - this hotel was the one for you. Check in at the base of the mountain, then take a gondola ride to the hotel. Multiple dining options, very friendly and helpful staff, and a great way to enjoy a ski resort - even it you don't ski. Only a few MINOR downsides - view from the room looks unobstructed on their website, but in reality, if your room is on the front of the building, you are staring straight into a working chairlift... a minor detail unless you are there to sit on your hotel room's balcony to enjoy a view of the mountainside. Also, don't rely on taking great pictures from the gondola. The front window of car we rode in was so filthy you literally could not see anything through it and many of the cars looked like they hadn't been hosed down in years. I imagine it is hard to keep them perfectly clean but these were awful. And a "funny" thing - if you want to hike, they provide free bear spray. We chose to sit, enjoy the cocktails and scenery, and let others hike with the bears :-)

How many hotels have you been to where you need to take a 20 minute aerial gondola ride to get to? If you're afraid of heights, or you arrive too late they have a shuttle van too. You're over halfway up a mountain at over 7000' (2100m), so be aware of that too. But it's a very cool experience. We were there in late June and they still had ski lifts running and lots of outdoor adventures. Watch out for the mountain goats on the road up to the parking lot/gondola station, we saw them on the way up and on the way back down.

Sunshine lodge saved the trip for me. I made bookings around 3 weeks before my trip due to uncertainty and everything else in banff was $600+ per night. However sunshine lodge came around $400 USD per night. It’s still expensive but totally worth it. It’s a 4 star property located on a mountain. Gondola is included in summers. I visited mid September. They also provided complimentary shuttle when gondola wasn’t running after 6pm. They have hot tub, sauna and an amazing restaurant just outside the lodge. We enjoyed all of that. One thing I noted in check in instructions is the rules are very different in winter. I think Gondola is not included in your stay and you pay extra $125 if you arrive after gondola hrs. and want to utilize shuttle services. So please make sure you know all these aspects. Another thing to notice is that it’s located between banff and lake louise so it’s inside the national park and you need park pass. It’s about 20 mns drive to banff but it’s also convenient when you are traveling on the other side to Icefield parkway, lake louise or Jasper. So I feel it’s more convenient than Canmore. The only complaint I have is that after paying everything in advance, they still charged a $22 resort fee per night. Although it’s not a deal breaker. I still highly recommend this property.
