Our Roots
Our hotel history takes us all the way back to 1949, when the Charlton's opened Banff's first year-round tourist accommodation, Charlton Cedar Court. Over the next several decades, this beloved property evolved into the charming alpine-style Banff boutique hotel you see today and remains the home of many fond memories for generations of guests.
In 2000, Charlton Resorts overhauled their second property, Evergreen Court, and opened Royal Canadian Lodge in its place. The luxury full-service hotel levelled up yet again in 2019 with extensive room renovations in keeping with our commitment to giving our guests the best Banff experience possible.
In 2022, the hotels were acquired by Innvest Hotels who are committed to the preservation of Banff National Park and to the overall visitor experience.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site
Established in 1885, Banff National Park is Canada’s first and now oldest National Park. The park is visited every year by people from every corner of the world taking in the natural beauty, the 1,600 kilometers of hiking trails and the 3 world-renowned ski resorts to name a few.
Banff National Park is located within the current territories of the Treaty 6, 7, and 8 First Nations, as well as the Métis Homeland. The Indigenous peoples have utilized the lands and waters of Banff for millennia for sustenance, ceremony, trade, and travel, contributing to the rich cultural heritage of the area.
Chartons Banff, and entire The Banff Collection by InnVest Hotels' group is proud to operate in the national park and welcome guests and tourists to these stunning lands. It is our commitment to honour, to uphold, to educate and to preserve the legacy of the Indigenous community and their picturesque land that we are so fortunate to experience every day.
“This was our first visit to Banff and the Charlton’s Banff Hotel exceeded our expectations. The room was clean and comfortable and the location of the hotel was excellent. The front desk personnel were very friendly and accommodating. We would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay there again the next time we visit the area. ”
-Cathy B,“Don't hesitate to stay here, we had a loft room and it was great. Very comfortable bed, good shower pressure, well kept and clean room. We were able to also book ourselves into the pool for the 30 min time-slot, and we also enjoyed that. Very friendly front desk staff. Overall we were very pleased and definitely recommend this hotel! ”
-Sharon S,“Exactly what the title states. We were only there for one night, but we really enjoyed the loft unit we had. We also took advantage of the complimentary breakfast as we were heading out of town early. There was a lot of snow overnight and we woke up early to see probably 6 people working to clear the lot. Our room had a TV both up and down with a fireplace by the main entrance door.”
