Calling all adventurers looking to experience Banff in an unconventional way! The stylish and playful brand, Moxy, a Marriott Brand Hotel, is finally coming to Canada. Designed for fun seekers and the young at heart, Moxy Banff, opening in January 2024, brings an entirely new experience to the infamous Banff Ave strip.
Moxy hotels boast unique designs with hyper-local offerings and Moxy Banff is no different! Guests can expect groovy vibes that pay homage to the building’s origin, known previously as the Voyageur Inn, combined with carefully crafted amenities to provide a high quality, out-of-the-box experience for guests. In partnership with Canalta Hotels, this new addition to the Moxy lineup is everything guests want and nothing they don’t.
Moxy, a playful hotel brand for the young at heart, is part of Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio of over 30 extraordinary brands. Originating in Europe in 2014 with the launch of Moxy Milan, Moxy now has over 125 locations across the globe. Moxy Banff has been developed in partnership with Drumheller-based company, Canalta Hotels.
The guest experience starts with a trip back in time as guests enter the hotel to check-in at the retro bar. Lit by an upside-down bear wearing headphones, the check-in experience sets the tone for the fun that lies ahead as every guest receives a complimentary cocktail. The bar itself evokes a retro ski vibe with its racetrack design and chairlift-inspired liquor baskets.
Bar Moxy’s doors open right onto the courtyard, a fun social space perfect for lounging by the fire or taking a dip in the hot pools. Hungry fun seekers will enjoy delicious après and an all-day menu from Bar Moxy’s fully restored ‘66 VW food truck.
Moxy Banff’s room designs are one-of-a-kind, smart, and efficient. The unconventional room layouts seek to include everything guests need and nothing that they don’t, without feeling small. Moxy’s smart room designs include toe-to-toe beds that increase floor space while creating a giant daybed for lounging. There are rooms with double bunks, kitchenettes and lock-off suites that make two rooms into one. Even the corridors of this hotel are striking with psychedelic carpet treatments and globe fixtures.
Canalta Hotels partnered with NYC based Workshop/APD to bring Moxy Banff’s groovy, mid-century interior atmosphere to life, and Calgary’s METAFOR Architecture Inc. (METAFOR) to design and modernize the exterior of the building while still paying homage to its predecessor.
From unconventional room layouts and playful programming to a year-round heated patio and outdoor hot pools, Moxy Banff promises a guest experience like none other, with something for everyone. This first-of-its-kind hotel, located in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, is sure to blow your socks off!
