HI Banff Alpine Centre is a hostel located at 801 Hidden Ridge Way, in Banff, Alberta, Canada. It consists of two buildings, the main building, built in the 1950s and renovated in 1986 as a hostel, and the Mary Belle Building, built in 1998. The main building's fire alarm system was upgraded in 2017, and the Mary Belle Building has the original fire alarm system.
