After a day spent playing on the ski hills or hiking through fresh snow, you return to your accommodation with the winter chill still clinging to your coat. You don your swimsuit and a cozy plush robe before venturing outside into the frosty air. You dare to dip your feet into the warm water of the hot tub and the steam encircles you as it drifts upwards. As you settle into the soothing heat, light flakes of snow begin to fall in the crisp air. You relax your tired muscles and breathe in the peace of this serene moment amongst the snow-covered peaks.

Relax on a Rooftop

Moose Hotel & Suites: Located just a short walk from downtown Banff, the Moose Hotel & Suites is also home to the Meadow Spa & Pools. Take advantage of two spectacular rooftop hot pools with views of the Canadian Rocky Mountains.
