5 reviews for RimRock Resort
All Reviews
A FANTASTIC 4.5 STAR OASIS OF RELAXATION AND BLISS.
RimRock is akin to The Banff Springs Hotel, offering stunning vistas, first-class dining and superior service. Often in the shadow of Banff Springs, RimRock competes for the #1 Banff signature destination by offering year-round promotions and competitive rates to attract clientele from all over world.
I was fortunate to take advantage of a $100 dining credit promo, plus a complimentary upgrade, all for about $450 for two nights. My room (as an upgrade) had stunning mountain valley views and free internet access. I chose to use the dining credit towards EDEN- the only Triple-Diamond restaurant in Alberta.
About EDEN: Go there! It's not for the faint of wallet, but if you want to spurge (we did so for our one-year anniversary) it is well worth the expense. The menu is designed for multiple course tasting menu, featuring local game and produce. The portions are quite small, allowing for maximum variety throughout your dinner. We had six courses and were not over-stuffed by any stretch (heehee). The wine list is comprehensive- we savoured a 1997 single-estate Cabernet from Sonoma, plus a bottle of Veuve (compliments of our family).
If Banff is one your favourite places on earth (as it is mine), why not enjoy it in style?
Great hotel nestled into the side of a cliff/mountain, spend the extra few dollars for an unobstructed view of the mountains out back. Great lobby with an enormous fireplace and terrific staff that helped us plan our day.
Great views, definitely spring for an upgraded room. They don't charge for the health club, maybe in the past. Staff is quite helpful and cheerful. Bus ride with room key is nice. Food is good in Primrose, did not eat in eden.
Nothing short of a beautiful resort with an awesome location. I especially appreciated the free (with room key) public transportation that picked up at the hotel.
The RimRock is actually nicer than the Banff Springs hotel but despite wonderful rooms, vistas and great personnel - this place can not overcome its preatory pricing - $15.00 with tax for parking/night - why? Inaccessible health club unless you pay another fee and now I know why it was empty. I would not suggest this place under any circumstance.
