Buffalo Mountain Lodge

For conferences and executive retreats far from the big city, Buffalo Mountain Lodge offers a stylish destination that centers on nature near Banff, Canada. Open-beam ceilings, wood-burning fieldstone fireplaces, and balcony/patio views of the surrounding peaks make the 108 guest rooms and suites memorable, while heated slate bathroom floors, plasma TVs, and wireless Internet access make them comfortable. Lodge cuisine leans heavily on local wild game and indigenous berries, fruits, and mushrooms.

Buffalo Mountain Lodge conference facilities include five venues in the lodge for groups to 120 and two rooms, a lounge, and Cilantro restaurant in the Emerald Lake Lodge for receptions to 100. Top attractions include skiing, ice-skating, and dogsledding in winter, and hiking, mountain biking, and canoeing in summer.
