TRAVEL INFO
AIR: The airport closest to Canmore is the YYC Calgary International Airport. Canmore is about an hour and a half drive from the airport.
- From the airport to the Malcolm Hotel, you can:
- Rent a car (the Malcolm has free underground parking)
- Take an rideshare from the airport to the Malcolm (if you go with a group of adults, this might work out to be less expensive than bus or shuttle options. Uber costs should be between $150- $350 CAD depending on time/car size).
- For bus options, you can use Brewster Express ($87 per adult one way, $57 per child; 15% off if you book roundtrip) or banffairporter ($79.90 per adult one way, $39.95 per child). These busses run throughout the day and you need to book bus times around your flights. Both go from YYC to the Coast Hotel Canmore, which is a 10-minute walk from the Malcolm Hotel.
