    The Rundle Bar is lovely and the views of the Rockies are amazing. Staff is wonderful. I do think though it is HIGHLY over priced. $90.00 for a few small sandwiches and desserts really is disappointing. A one time experience is enough.

    AVOID!! I went this weekend and paid $90 for the worst sandwiches I’ve ever had. I literally spit it out. I have been here before and it was amazing. As you can see the comparison in my photos, the one last year was great! This year, it was mediocre sandwiches that you can make yourself.

    Have been for High Tea a number of times but we all agreed that although the desserts were amazing the sandwiches weren’t as exciting and tasty as usual. The presentation wasn’t as impressive either. Still loved the experience but hope next time the food is better and as pretty as it’s been in the past.

    Afternoon tea was lovely. I wish there would have been a variety of bread with the sandwiches. We were seated with a beautiful view. Teas were delicious. It took a while for the background music to be turned on so it seemed really quiet to start with

    One glass of Prosecco, tea, tasty scones, and a tiered tray of mini white bread sandwiches and desserts. The Afternoon Tea was an excuse for us to see the hotel on a weekend trip in Banff. Service was good but table assigned was not one of the limited number of tables along the back window, so no view to speak of. $90 per person plus tip and taxes. Nothing to complain about and nothing specific to praise.
