This hotel with its unmistakable red roof lies in the depths of the world-famous Banff National Park in southwest Canada and is run by two Swiss brothers although it has been in operation since 1942. Canada’s biggest skiing area is only a few minutes away from the hotel, as are the crystal clear waters of Lake Louise. The range of activities on offer here will make even experienced skiers gasp; try your hand at dog sled running, ice skating, heli-skating, cross country and even ice fishing! A spa complex, pool, Jacuzzi and boutique are also to be found at the Post Hotel in addition to an award-winning and critically praised restaurant and wine list. There’s a wide selection of rooms and suites available, all tastefully furnished. The hotel is situated 2 hours drive from Calgary. If being here doesn’t make you hear the call of the wild here then you never will.
