We stayed at the Banff Gate Mountain Lodge & Spa before they had to change the name from "Royal Club International at the Banff Gate Mountain Lodge & Spa" to "Chateau World at the Banff Gate Mountain Lodge & Spa" It was nice enough. They had (and I believe still do) a special deal when you went through their website... more

This had to be the worst establishment in the province of Alberta. I'll start with what I saw first, a tiny hovel of a motel that is situated with a picturesque view of the "TransCanada Highway". The description on the website takes hyperbole to a whole new level. Secondly, I called not once but twice to make sure the accomodations... more

We stayed at the Chateau World Canmore (CWC), which is five minutes from the Banff Gate (BG) but operated by the same company. Overall, it is a perfectly acceptable place to stay if the purpose of your visit is mainly to enjoy the amenities, of which there is none on site. My wife, our five-year-old son and I stayed there... more

We reserved a two bedroom unit at this resort for a week-end at the end of September. The fall colors were beautiful, and when we awoke on the Saturday, we discovered that it had snowed in the night. This made the scenery even more spectacular.Two couples shared this unit. We found it to be very comfortable, especially the beds. There... more

We booked our stay at this resort through our RCI timeshare ownership. In the RCI guide, this resort is rated Gold Crown, the highest there is. However, compared to our home resort in Las Vegas, and even to other mountain lodges we've stayed in, this falls well short. The resort's website talks about units large enough to accommodate six, and... more

We booked the resort using our timeshare exchange and stayed for 7 days. Except for the fact that it is beside the highway, the location is b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l! The gate to Banff National park is only 2km away and downtown Canmore (where you can go for groceries, gas, take-out) is even closer. We arrived before the 4pm check-in. Because we had... more

Incredible views of the Rockies in Canada, near Banff and Lake Louise. Two hours away are the Icefields near Jasper and the drive is fantastic. The Chateau was a wonderful condo with fireplace and plenty of parking. Watch out for bears! more

Management and staff uncaring and not helpful. We arrived after driving for 10 hours only to be put in a hotel down the street as there were no rooms available. I had booked the stay months prior and had my confirmation email to show the front desk. We were very upset as we were told nothing could be done by... more

My family of 6 adults stayed here for one week. Our two bedroom, "two bathroom" unit was acceptable (there is also a pull-out sofa in the living area). However, the second bath did not actually have a shower. There was a hole where a shower was supposed to be installed. Apparently, all of the units are lacking the 2nd shower.... more
