Set high above the Bow Valley in the heart of Banff National Park, Rimrock Banff will reemerge in summer 2026 as Rimrock Banff, Emblems Collection – the first Emblems Collection hotel in North America and a new sanctuary of quiet, soulful luxury in the Canadian Rockies.

Following a transformative, property-wide reimagination, the resort will join Accor’s newest ultra-luxury brand, Emblems Collection, which is defined by character-rich properties that reflect the soul of their destination. Long a place of relaxation and adventure for more than a century, Rimrock Banff’s next chapter will offer an experience unlike any other in the region, where days unfold to the rhythm of the peaks and guests feel alive, centered, and restored.

Carved into Sulphur Mountain and accessed by a winding road that rises above Banff, the resort will feel intentionally set apart, like a private mountain enclave within a UNESCO World Heritage site. All 320 redesigned rooms and suites will feature breathtaking mountain views, framing the Rockies as a living masterpiece from every window. Refined materiality and craftsmanship – natural stone, warm woods, and layered textures – will flow through the public spaces, creating intuitive environments that invite exploration from lobby to lounges.

Wellness will be grounded in nature’s gentle rhythm. Guests will be able to restore mind and body in suspended meditation rooms, saunas, glacial plunges, infinity pools, a hydrothermal circuit, and other spaces where steam, salt, and forest air mingle. With direct access to more than 2,500 square miles of wilderness, Rimrock Banff will also serve as a gateway to transformative outdoor and cultural experiences, including heli-hiking, glacier treks, canyon ice walks, alpine yoga, and immersive adventures only possible within Banff National Park.

Rimrock Banff will introduce four new culinary experiences that reinterpret mountain dining through a contemporary lens. From chef-driven Parker’s Table to vibrant Rimrock Social, an intimate cocktail-forward Listening Room, and a relaxed mountain café, “Market,” each venue will celebrate the flavors, culture, and spirit of the Rockies, encouraging guests to linger over meals and meticulously crafted beverages.

With more than 18,000 square feet of meeting and event space, the resort will also provide a dramatic backdrop for business gatherings, weddings, and milestone celebrations. Every event will be tailored to its purpose, with mountain views and thoughtfully designed interiors creating an ambiance that engages and inspires.

When it opens in summer 2026, Rimrock Banff, Emblems Collection will redefine luxury in the Canadian Rockies – a sanctuary in the sky where soulful design, mountain wellness, and immersive nature converge.
