Away from the ordinary Banff hotels, Buffalo Mountain Lodge lies on the gentle slopes of Tunnel Mountain, which native people called 'sleeping buffalo'. The Rocky Mountains have long been an area of great significance to our native peoples. The valleys were places of ceremony and celebration; the lakes and mineral springs offered rejuvenation for mind, body and spirit.The Main Lodge complements its natural setting with square timber, post and beam construction, and high open ceilings. Decor pays tribute to old-world craftsmanship, from custom made cherry, pine and bent-willow furnishings to copper and glass light fixtures. Simple, elegant design is a hallmark of the resort, and symbolizes the lifestyle at the Lodge. It includes a charming lounge with a huge fieldstone fireplace, dining room, conference rooms, indoor recreation area, steam room and an outdoor hot tub.
