Mid-range
$193How expensive is Banff?

How these estimates work
Mid-range uses the U.S. government’s per diem for each place: the most a federal traveler may claim for a hotel room, by season, plus meals and incidentals. It tracks a solid business-class hotel and restaurant meals.
Currencies are converted at the European Central Bank reference rate, or the U.S. Treasury reporting rate where the ECB has none, as of October 8, 2026.
Not included: flights, activities and shopping. Two travelers share a room; a third takes a second room.
