A "sexy" new hotel just opened in Banff and it's GROOVY
Banff’s groovy new hotel option that practically begs you to stick around is finally open, and with its mid-century ski lodge vibes and year-round patio, we can’t wait to sit poolside with a drink in hand.
Moxy Banff opens its doors today. The swanky new hotel is the result of a $30 million renovation of The Voyager Inn, Banff’s first commercial motor hotel, originally constructed in 1964.
It’s the only Canadian hotel to make CNN’s list of the “sexiest new hotels in 2024.”
The hotel’s brand of “playful and fun” accommodations began in 2014 with the launch of Moxy Milan and has grown to over 125 locations worldwide. Moxy Banff was developed in partnership with Drumheller-based Canalta Hotels and is part of Mariott Bonvoy’s portfolio of hotel brands.
“As an Albertan-owned company, we are thrilled with the opportunity to partner with Moxy Hotels, an industry-leading brand that brings both bold design and energetic atmosphere to the naturally beautiful and vibrant community of Banff, Alberta,” says Brooke Christianson, VP, Canalta Hotels.

“While most hotels in Banff offer a traditional mountain hotel experience, Moxy Banff stands out from the crowd with its cool, vintage, mid-century modern vibes and unique guest experience.”
Moxy Banff has a bold design anchored in the centre by Bar Moxy and flanked on both sides by expansive rundle stone walls and unique precast guest wings that float over the parkades.
The guest experience starts with a trip back in time as guests enter the hotel to check in at the retro bar. It sets the tone for the rest of your stay, as every guest receives a complimentary cocktail upon check-in.
Moxy Bar evokes a retro ski vibe with its racetrack design and chairlift-inspired liquor baskets.

Adding to the vibes, the bar’s doors open right into the courtyard, perfect for lounging by the fire or taking a dip in the year-round hot pools.

“Fun is what we do best, so it’s no surprise that we’ve integrated playful opportunities for guests into our programming,” says Sudeep Sandhu, Moxy Banff captain.
“The Moxy Banff team will have scheduled activities for guests to enjoy, and we aren’t afraid to throw in spontaneous, ‘you just had to be there’ options too. We can’t wait to welcome guests from near and far to experience the new hotel on the block.”
Looking at the rooms, Moxy Banff’s room designs are smart and efficient, and the unique room designs include toe-to-toe beds that increase floor space while creating a giant daybed for lounging.

There are rooms with double bunks, kitchenettes, and lock-off suites that make two rooms into one.

“The designs are not the only part of this new hotel’s charm. Moxy Hotels are known for its good times and upscale experiences, and Moxy Banff will be no different,” said Christianson.
“With daily programming designed to encourage guests to mingle, get out of their rooms and experience all that Banff has to offer, Moxy Banff is as fun as it is chic.”
It’s the first-of-its-kind hotel in the heart of the Rockies and is sure to blow your socks off!
