    The room is very clean, warm and well-decorated. The room is big for family to stay. It’s very quiet during sleep time and comfortable. Susan is a great owner. She is warm and friendly, her breakfast was delicious

Welcome to the Poplar Inn, we are located just a couple of hundred yards from the bustling centre of Banff all of its Shops, Restaurants and Tour companies as well as the majestic Bow river and its winding walking path through town. We are in a very unique location in Banff that offers unobstructed sunshine from sunrise to sunset and we are a perfect spot to enjoy a breathtaking mountain sunset after a busy day here in the mountains. Upon arrival, you will enjoy onsite parking and private entrances for all units. Off of each unit you can enjoy separated patios and a sitting area with a campfire. After enjoying your mountain day adventures get connected with complimentary 5G WIFI as well each unit is equipped with flat-screen TV’s full cable and movie packages with HBO & SMART TV. Nothing says relaxing after a mountain day more than a nice soak in our covered HOT TUB. Cedar Chalet is a self contained unit, so breakfast isn't provided, but does offer a full kitchen, BBQ & ensuite laundry and large raised balcony with mountain view.
Fifty years ago there were few Bed & Breakfasts in Banff, however my Grandmother ran one called “The Poplars”. “Momma”, as everyone called her, created a welcoming environment with exceptional hospitality for all her guests. I have named my Bed & Breakfast “The Poplar Inn” because I wanted to carry on the wonderful tradition started by my grandmother. The Inn is built on my parents’ property with many of the trees that my Mother planted still standing. Come and stay with me and discover the quiet splendor of the Inn, and enjoy the continued tradition of hospitality taught to me by “Momma”. I am the young girl on the left.
Within walking distance, you can explore the rich history of this friendly community by visiting local museums, art galleries and the Cave and Basin Historic Site. There are a number of ways to get around Banff and surrounding area including a local transit system and taxis, as well as limousine services, shuttle busses and tours. There are bike rentals and a gondola to give you breathtaking views of the town and surrounding area. Banff has a wonderful selection of shops and boutiques to wander through and a great selection of restaurants. Of course there is breathtaking scenery, outdoor activities to keep you busy right at our front door.
