Banff is undoubtedly one of the best places to visit in Canada (if not THE best!).
With its epic mountain views, hot springs, and endless attractions, it really was an unforgettable part of our months spent exploring Canada.
Located in the state of Alberta, this resort town is the perfect base for exploring the Rocky Mountains, Banff National Park, and Jasper.
The best way to make the most of your time exploring the best things in Banff is by going for a hotel that offers a private hot tub.
This way you can relax in the jacuzzi, admire the mountain views and just let all your stresses melt away.
Finding specific hotels in Banff with a jacuzzi can be pretty difficult, especially as they can get booked up quickly.
To help you out, I’ve come up with a guide to the best Banff hotels with hot tubs!
Let’s get stuck in …
First up we’ve got The Hidden Ridge Resort! This hotel is undoubtedly one of the best options if you’re planning a trip to Banff as it has so much to offer!
Boasting a fantastic location, excellent facilities, and spacious condos, there’s a reason this place is so popular.
One of the key highlights has to be the two shared outdoor pools that offer stunning mountain views. However, there’s also a sauna, BBQ area, and children's playground on-site.
In terms of private hot tubs, you’ve got two options; the Premier King Condo with Hot Tub and the Two-Bedroom Condo with Jetted Tub.
For the best experience, I recommend booking the Premier Condo as it features a private balcony which is where your hot tub will be located. From here, you’ll be treated to breathtaking mountain views as you relax in your private jacuzzi.
This makes The Hidden Ridge Resort one of the best Banff hotels with a hot tub on the balcony!
The Two-Bedroom Condo does have a jetted tub but it’s found in the bedroom so you won’t have any views from here.
Thanks to its location on Banff Avenue (the main street in town), Banff Caribou Lodge & Spa is the perfect base if you’re looking to explore this beautiful area.
One of the first things you’ll notice about this hotel is just how many facilities are on-site. This includes a full-service spa, a fantastic steakhouse restaurant, and a fitness room.
You’ll also benefit from a sauna and an indoor hot pool that’s suitable for 26 people at a time!
There are a variety of rooms and suites available at this hotel, but only two offer a private jetted tub; the Corner Loft Suite and Mountain Loft Suite. Both feature an indoor tub and stunning views of the surrounding area!
If you’re still not convinced then Banff Caribou Lodge & Spa also offers a complimentary ROAM transit pass. This way, you’ll have your transport covered and it includes stops at the Upper Hot Springs, Lake Minnewanka, and Banff Gondola.
Honestly, there are so many reasons to book a stay with Banff Caribou Lodge & Spa!
The Rundlestone Lodge is also located along Banff Avenue which puts you in a great location, especially as you’ll be just a 15-minute walk from Downtown Banff.
There are three suites available here with a private jetted tub; the King Suite, the King Loft Suite, and the Premier Loft King Suite.
All of the suites feature an indoor hot tub but for the best experience, I’d recommend going for the Premier Loft King Suite. This is because the jacuzzi is located right next to the window so you can admire the views while you relax.
If you decide to stay here, you’ll also have the use of an indoor pool, shared hot tub, a fitness room, and computer kiosks. There’s even a children’s playground next door which you’ll have access to.
Like Banff Caribou Lodge & Spa, this hotel also offers a complimentary ROAM transit pass. This is just another reason to book with The Rundlestone Lodge!
Even better, you can add a ski pass to your reservation, either at check-in or by calling in advance.
If you’re looking for a private hot tub in Banff then why not check out Banff Park Lodge? This hotel is certainly somewhere to shout about with extensive facilities, spacious suites, and a great location.
For starters, there are three restaurants on-site as well as in-room dining so you’ll have no problems grabbing something to eat. This includes Crave Mountain Grill, La Terrazza Italian Restaurant, and the Terrace Lounge.
Not only that but there’s a relaxing pool area that’s home to an indoor swimming pool, a plunge pool, a hot tub, and a steam room. This is the perfect place to ease those tense muscles after a day of hiking or skiing.
If that’s not enough to convince you, Banff Park Lodge also offers a handy ski shuttle service, bicycle rentals, and 10% off all services at Cedar & Sage Spa.
Now onto the rooms! There are eight Deluxe Jacuzzi Rooms available at the hotel and each one features a 2-person hot tub, a king bed, a walk-in shower, and a private balcony. What more could you ask for?
Douglas Fir Resort & Chalets has to be set in one of the town’s most breathtaking spots. Boasting a striking mountain backdrop and surrounded by lush trees, the location is a reason to stay all on its own.
Better yet, this hotel is frequently visited by deer so keep your eyes peeled!
At Douglas Fir Resort & Chalets, you’ve got a variety of room options but you’ll want to go for the Jacuzzi Suite. It sleeps four people and features one king-size bed and a pull-out queen bed.
If you’re traveling as a family with young children, then this is the best place to stay in Banff. There are plenty of incredible facilities for the little ones including an indoor waterpark, wading pool, and giant indoor playground.
For the adults, there’s a hot tub which is available exclusively for hotel guests, a sauna and steam room, a fitness room, and a BBQ area.
Like some of the other hotels in this guide, with Douglas Fir Resort & Chalets you’ll have free use of the ROAM transit system.
Next, we have Brewster Mountain Lodge which is another fantastic option. With a variety of rooms on offer, a great location, and excellent facilities, it’s no wonder so many people choose to stay here.
Boasting a dry sauna, a fitness room, and two spacious gathering areas including a Mezzanine and Courtyard, this hotel has a lot to offer.
There are several room options when it comes to private jetted tubs; Deluxe Queen, Deluxe King, Loft Suites, and the Brewster Suite.
No matter which room you go for you’ll benefit from plenty of space, lots of amenities, and a seating area. However, it’s the Brewster Suite you’ll want to go for if you don’t mind splashing the cash!
For starters, your jetted tub is located right next to the window so you can admire the views while all your stresses melt away. With guaranteed vistas of the Rocky Mountains, you can’t go wrong.
There are plenty of Banff hotels with hot tubs in the room, but Brewster Mountain Lodge is definitely a stand-out option!
If you’re looking for Banff jacuzzi suites then make sure you check out Best Western Plus Siding 29 Lodge.
There are a couple of suites available that include a private hot tub; the King Suite, and the Jetted Tub King Suite. Both feature an indoor tub and offer plenty of space.
During your stay here, you’ll have access to the indoor pool and shared hot tub so there are plenty of amenities for relaxing. A complimentary breakfast is also included with your stay so you can start the day off right!
The hotel is in a great location too as it’s located along the iconic Banff Avenue.
Although you’ll find several pet-friendly hotels in Banff, Best Western Plus Siding 29 Lodge allows up to two dogs per room (depending on their weight).
At their discretion, they also allow other pets including cats and birds but you’ll need to check this in advance as it depends on which rooms they have left.
So if you’re wanting to bring the whole crew along then this may be one of your best options!
With two bedrooms and a single pull-out, this gorgeous house sleeps up to five people so it’s the perfect option for families. Better yet, children under the age of 10 stay free!
You’ll be staying in a quiet area that’s just a short walk from Downtown Banff so you’ll be in a very central location. This puts you in a great spot for nearby restaurants, attractions, and the shuttle bus.
Another great thing about staying in this house is that the host is extremely helpful and very responsive, so you know you’re in good hands!
The house is split up over two levels and is spaciously laid out. The bedrooms, kitchen, and dining area are all located downstairs, while upstairs you’ll find a spacious lounge.
Just outside there’s a private outdoor area with decking, outdoor furniture, and a BBQ. Of course, there’s the outdoor hot tub too!
You’ll find plenty of accommodation options with private hot tubs in Banff. However, this charming house has so much to offer, especially as you’ll benefit from more space.

Sleeping two people, it’s the perfect option for a romantic getaway - especially thanks to the hot tub’s location. It’s situated right next to the window and from here, you’ll be treated to striking views.
Not only that but there’s a gas fireplace so you can cozy up together on those cold Canadian evenings. If that doesn’t sound like the perfect evening then I don’t know what does!
Other amenities within this loft apartment include free WiFi, a mini-fridge, a private bathroom, and a flat-screen TV. There’s even a small safe so you can easily store any valuables if you’re heading out hiking or skiing.
You’ll also have access to all the facilities at Banff Caribou Lodge & Spa which I mentioned previously. This includes the spa, fitness center, and on-site restaurant.
There are plenty of hotels in Banff with jacuzzi suites, but this one isn’t located in the town. In fact, it’s a 35-minute drive out of Banff but it’s a good alternative if you’re looking for something a little more secluded.
Baker Creek Mountain Resort is the best option if you’re looking for a cabin with a private hot tub in Alberta. There are several options to choose from with a jetted tub including the Queen Cabin, the Jacuzzi Suite, and the Superior Jacuzzi Suite.
Each option is cozy and spacious, but the Superior Jacuzzi Suite offers a hot tub right next to the window.
Aside from its close location to the iconic Lake Louise, there are plenty of other reasons to stay at this resort. One of the main draws is the extensive facilities that can be found here.
At Baker Creek Mountain Resort, you’ll benefit from outdoor fire pits, BBQs, a steam room and sauna, and a fitness center. There’s even a skating rink!
