Straddling the hillside adjacent to Banff's hot springs, the Rimrock is plush. Controversially located in a wildlife corridor on the slopes of Sulphur Mountain, it offers a host of top-end amenities. The classy restaurants, bar and lounge don't disappoint and rooms exude comfort – although it's difficult to drag your gaze away from the spectacular vistas through the big picture windows.
