The Banff Aspen Lodge did everything in their power to make our stay relaxing and stress free. Parking can be difficult in Banff, but I was able to contact their help desk service ahead of time. To my delight, I discovered that there was ample parking behind the hotel. The desk staff were friendly, the hot tubs were sensuous and the steam room smelled of grilled eucalyptus leaves, taking me back to my days in the Australian outback as an amateur dingo hunter.
Imagine our delight, then, when the rooms were tidy, comfortable and had beds that must have been made from wisps of clouds from Heaven itself! Our rooms happened to look in on the hot tubs, so we were able to enjoy the truly Nordic experience of dipping in scalding water on a winter night.
Every man dies, but not every man stays at the Banff Aspen Lodge. Go there now.
