The concept A full rebrand and renovation of the former High Country Inn into The Kenrick, an independent boutique hotel on Banff's main avenue.
Dining & wellness NC — full current dining program not independently confirmed at time of writing; check the hotel's own site for current outlets.
Our take A straightforward, well-located boutique conversion — the Banff Avenue address does most of the work, with little independently confirmed yet about what distinguishes the property beyond its predecessor.

I booked The Kenrick for a family birthday celebration and am soooo glad I did. The renovations are outstanding making all areas really beautiful. We had a king room and it had an awesome banquette below the window which was great for a little visiting and relaxing (and for the grandkids to watch for deer and buses (go figure!). With four grandchildren along, the pool area was the absolute best! Some of the adults in our group even braved the cold plunge pool. The lobby has a lovely gathering area which the staff allowed us to use for a birthday cake celebration. The staff were super friendly throughout our stay. The extra touches really added to our overall enjoyment: kids reading books, colouring books and pencils, brio train sets, night lights for the kids even robes and slippers for the little ones! We also booked the portable record player and a few albums. Excellent Nespresso machine in the rooms and a selection of tea. Analog coffee shop in the lobby was great and they have a decent selection of stuff to eat including some really good breakfast sandwiches. Fat Ox is next door for nicer brunch-dinner options. We had a truly memorable stay and look forward to coming back again.
We’ve now stayed at The Kenrick Hotel twice and both experiences were absolutely perfect. The hotel itself is beautiful, modern, incredibly comfortable, and in an amazing location. The pool area is outstanding — easily one of the best hotel pool setups in Banff and such a great place to relax after a day out.
What really makes this place stand out though is the staff. Every interaction was friendly, welcoming, and professional. A special thank you to Mark and El for being so helpful and personable during our stays.
And a huge shoutout to the manager, Mark, who truly goes above and beyond for guests. It’s rare these days to see that level of care and attention to detail. He genuinely makes you feel valued and ensures everything is perfect from start to finish.
You can tell this hotel takes pride in creating a great guest experience. We’ll definitely be back again and highly recommend The Kenrick Hotel to anyone visiting Banff.
For great service, a comfortable and clean room, and a hotel with quality amenities, look no further.
From check in, Sony ensured our bags made their way to our room, and she went the extra mile to ensure our stay met our expectations!
Fransisco alone deserves 5+ stars. My Fiancée and I value great service and a good nights sleep when we travel (often weekly).
We’ve visited many 5 star resorts and Fransisco gave us the best customer service we have received from a hotel. He provided great food and attraction recommendations and helped us pick a great wine, delivered our room! The service here goes the extra mile!
Had a lovely get away to Banff and really pleased with our stay at the Kenrick. The pool/sauanas/recovery pools were clean and looked nice. Beds were comfortable and both firm and soft pillows were supplied. Absolutely love that there was a white noise machine as well.
Storage and hanging space was well thought out. There’s a place to put your boots and there’s also a separate place to hang our wet snow gear. I also liked that there was a detachable shower head option. Makes it easy to shower toddlers haha
This was our first visit to Banff and we stayed in the Kenrick. We loved this hotel from the stylish reception to the modern, spacious bedroom and the great staff on reception! We loved our stay and would definitely return, the spa and pool area was brilliant after a long day out in the snow! Any needs or queries we had were resolved immediately and with a smile, Elle on reception was fantastic! The views from the room of the rockie mountains were amazing. It is in walking distance to everything in town, and there is also free parking which we really appreciated.
We would highly recommend staying here!
