Our place in Banff National Park
Set overlooking the valley, the Juniper Hotel & Bistro stands on ground that has forever drawn people to this region. Long before it became a hotel, this was a place of gathering – where the Ktunaxa, Secwepemc, Métis, Tsuu’tina, Mountain Cree, Blackfoot, and Stoney Nakoda peoples returned seasonally, sharing knowledge, food, and medicine over thousands of years.
The Juniper uses that connection to the land to shape the experience today, offering discerning guests a more grounded stay in Banff: architecture that opens onto the vast panorama and native plant gardens, menus rooted in the region, and a pace that encourages slowing down and settling into the moment rather than moving past it.
