Post Hotel: Summer and Winter Exterior Views
Perched at 1500 metres amidst the natural wonders of Banff National Park you will find this cherished Alpine chalet. Canada’s largest ski area is just minutes away and the abundance of snow is just one reason a growing number of European skiers visit the area each winter. An award winning wine list, and fresh market cuisine are featured in the renowned dining room.

Originally built in 1942, the Post resonates with the spirit of its colourful founder, Sir Norman Watson — and the dedication of its current owners. Born in Switzerland, brothers André and George Schwarz were raised to appreciate good food, good wine and good company. For more than 25 years, their shared passion has been to welcome guests to this world-class alpine destination.

The Post Hotel offers renowned fine dining and an award winning wine cellar featuring over 28,500 bottles and more than 1500 selections. The Post Hotel is a Four Diamond award winner and Dirona recipient (Distinguished Restaurants of North America).

Wine Spectator, the authoritative wine magazine of North America, recently awarded the Post Hotel its highest honour — The "Grand Award". One of only four restaurants in Canada to achieve this recognition, which is regarded as the pinnacle of restaurant success worldwide.

Among a setting of character rich Canadian pine and close to the warm glow of the grand fieldstone fireplace, you will savour the exquisite talents of the Post's international cooking team, led by European-trained Executive Chef Hans Sauter.
