Where to eat and stay in Banff
193 cafés, restaurants, bars, hotels and motels in Banff, Alberta — compiled from open data and public registers. Free to search, and no venue pays to appear.
We hold 193 venues in Banff — 118 places to eat and 75 to stay. That makes it the 3rd-largest of the 721 towns and suburbs we cover in Alberta, carrying 2% of the region's venues.
Of the places to eat, 19% are cafés against a national figure of 19%. That is close to the New Zealand norm — Banff eats roughly the way the country does. The full split is 23 cafés, 64 restaurants, 18 takeaways, 3 bars and 10 pubs.
84 of the 118 eating places carry a cuisine tag. The most common are regional (11), coffee shop (9) and japanese (8). Relative to the rest of the country Banff is unusually strong on regional, steak house and japanese — those appear here at a higher rate than the national average.
On the practical detail: 76 publish opening hours (39%), 2 are recorded as step-free, 15 have outdoor seating and 4 flag vegetarian options. Coverage here is better than the 21% national average, so the hours below are more reliable than most.
For a bed, Banff runs to 75 listings — 34 hotels, 1 motels, 29 b&bs and guest houses, 3 hostels, 6 serviced apartments and 2 holiday parks and campgrounds. Hotels dominate, at 45% of the town's accommodation. Accommodation is 39% of everything mapped here, well above the 19% national share — the signature of a place that hosts more visitors than it has residents.
Places of a similar size — Whitby (193), Sherwood Park (193), White Rock (196) and Sherbrooke (197) — average 4% accommodation. Banff runs at 39%, noticeably more, which is what a place that takes in visitors looks like.
All of this is derived from open data rather than collected from listings sites: OpenStreetMap for the venues, public registers for verification. 24 of the 193 venues in Banff carry at least six recorded attributes and so have a page of their own; the rest are listed here, because a page with only a name and a map pin on it would be worth nobody's time. A blank field means unrecorded, not absent. Nothing here is scraped from a commercial directory, no venue has paid to appear, and we publish no ratings or reviews of our own.
