Project Feature - The Moose Hotel and Suites - Mountain View Building Materials & Exteriors

Project Feature – The Moose Hotel and Suites

Spirited and alive with adventure, the town of Banff attracts tourists from around the world to enjoy the beautiful and rugged surrounding mountain landscapes. As a National Park and Heritage Site, building requirements are in place to ensure the buildings and structures of Banff compliment the natural surroundings and reflect the towns history. Banff’s building requirements include sensitivity to nature and the use of rustic natural materials; the exact type of materials that you can depend on Mountain View Building Materials to supply!

Banff emphasizes structural expression and strong roof forms, respect for the pedestrian environment, and the use of decorative details and finishing to provide relief and texture. These considerations are explicitly important for all building projects and the building materials used.

Before construction began on the Moose Hotel & Suites, there were many factors to consider when choosing materials and contractors to execute the project. With prior experience working with Banff Caribou Properties, Mountain View was invited to bid on the exterior materials for the upcoming Moose Hotel project.

The Moose Hotel is a classic example of the type of accommodation you can find in Banff. Located a convenient 1 minute walk from the heart of downtown, this stunning hotel offers 174 air conditioned one or two bedroom guest rooms, a fitness room, and large meeting rooms with beautiful views. Along with the indoor pool, The Moose Hotel also offers spectacular rooftop hot pools with sweeping views of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Rich in amenities, the hotel also includes a restaurant with room service, a full service spa with a private lounge, free parking, and complimentary Banff Roam bus passes.

When presenting our bid to supply exterior materials for the Moose Hotel, we supplied sample products that met the town’s requirements including; natural wood exterior siding and railings, custom colored fiber cement siding, different finish options for the natural wood products, as well as a one of a kind Clear Cedar Sauna Roof, which is appropriately located on the roof of the hotel, where hotel guests can enjoy some of the best unobstructed views of the surrounding Rocky Mountains. The specifications of the Moose Hotel project is exactly the type of project we excel at, and why we want to share this project with you! With the exception of natural stone, we were thrilled to be awarded the bid to supply all of the exterior materials

In order to adhere to traditional alpine design, with nods to the history of Banff, we recognized that getting the perfect materials for the build was important, but equally important was the service that we would need to provide. We knew from initial delivery that this project must be a priority, and we made sure our client knew that was the case. The Moose Hotel project was very large and would include tight timelines and limited storage space on-site, both of which we recognized immediately. We knew that in order to keep construction running smoothly, communication would be key. In order to achieve the most effective communication we could, we supplied our driver with a direct phone line to the site superintendent, and vice versa, and partnered with a finishing company that would deliver the finished product directly to the site. This would allow the builders to install the products directly with no wait time.

Overall, The Moose Hotel & Suites was completed on time with a beautiful result. This project is the gold standard example of not only the building standards you will find in Banff, but also the quality standards we at Mountain view Building Materials adhere to. We are so proud to have been a part of the construction of what has become one of Banff’s Premier Hotels, and will forever appreciate the opportunity to contribute to maintaining the integrity of buildings in Banff and the surrounding area.
