The Juniper Hotel & Bistro
Featured in National Geographic Traveller UK
Recognition from respected travel publications reflects the experience guests can expect at the Juniper.
Featured by National Geographic for its remarkable setting and distinctive approach to hospitality, the hotel has been recognised as one of Banff’s standout places to stay.
While the mountain views may first capture attention, it’s the thoughtful service, connection to nature, and sense of place that continue to leave a lasting impression.

Banff 'Best Place in the World to Travel in 2026'
Banff has been named the Readers’ Choice winner for Best Place in the World to Travel in 2026 by National Geographic, who described it as a place where “wilderness isn’t something you visit but something that surrounds you – always.”
We’re proud that the Juniper is now part of that story too. This year, the hotel was selected for inclusion in National Geographic Traveller UK’s Lakes & Mountains Collection – a curated print and online showcase of boutique hotels and lodges set in the world’s most remarkable mountain and lakeside landscapes.
"Curated for travellers who seek out stillness as much as adventure"
It’s a fitting place to land. The Juniper has always been shaped by the wilderness around it – from the gardens that blend into the surrounding meadow and forest, to a hillside setting inside one of Banff’s busiest wildlife corridors. Being featured alongside some of the world’s most distinctive mountain and lake destinations feels like the right kind of company to keep.
You’ll find our feature in the 2026 Lakes & Mountains Collection, available now in print and online.
