Wow. Just clicked your link and there it is! That big beautiful resort her aunty was out front of back in the day! What a great find. Good on you for taking the time. Lucky she there once upon a time and the place is still there now! Well done everyone 😊
When you make an attempt to recreate, use a DSLR! Something with a 50mm or 85mm lens. A cell phone camera will not recreate the background compression properly! Best of luck and can’t wait to see your recreation!
Huh. I've lived here for over a decade and have never been pulled over.
Has your 6 year old been stopped for carrying a slingshot? Or are you getting mad at a made up scenario?
Again, are you mad at something that you're currently experiencing or hypothetical scenarios?
I live in Banff - I haven't found the red tape any worse than living elsewhere in the world.
You just made up a scenario about a kid with a slingshot just to get upset about it.
And in 10 years I've met one person who slept in their car for a week because they were inbetween leases. Is it great? Not aways. However it's got a full community of long term locals who are happy and work hard. Sorry you didn't experience that in the few months you were here.
(Ex Albertan) Looks like Banff Springs Hotel. Originally built by CP Rail I belive. I’ve only been inside once but man its like an old beautiful castle in there.
Thanks everyone for all the information!
I'll be in Banff in August (I have a campsite reservation YAY) and will definitely be visiting Surprise Corner with my bicycle, camera, and tripod!

just a couple feet before the orange ''be prepared to stop sign '' is

That’s the *Fairmont Banff Springs* hotel in Banff, Alberta, Canada. It’s more developed around the hotel now, so I don’t think you’d be able to recreate the photo exactly. But, you could certainly have a photo taken with the hotel in the background.
I love the people down voting The Grand Budapest hotel!
We all know it’s Banff, just looks so much like the hotel in the Grand Budapest Hotel Movie.
Get a life..😂
Looks like Mohonk mountain lodge to me. https://www.mohonk.com/?nck=web-ppc&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADuKXbSlF1dGH2yDs867RhygKzwUb&gclid=CjwKCAjwm_SzBhAsEiwAXE2CvywqlzPDjBp0029San6eaVgU-YLSQ4L1XNxgqvUXoc4OHi_v0g1VZBoChyYQAvD_BwE
Surprise corner however that spot does have some fencing nowadays so it might not be an exact replica!
I was just going to say, I think I was just there last week! Saw Tom Green hanging out at the Fairmont with his girlfriend and dog.
Yup. It’s on the road up to the Banff Centre.
Please post the new picture when you get it
It's got its own label on Google maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/yShBErfTBC1JwcFV8

No problem. I live a 5 min walk away. It's one of the most popular spots in Banff. If you type 'banff viewpoint' into Google it's the second one :)
Wonderful photo - thanks for sharing. And yes Surprise Corner, though you’ll have to photoshop out the fence…

Or a film camera with B&W film. Then miss focus on the subject.
I am \*almost\* tempted to go into the attic and try to find my old Bronica ETRSI or my even older 4x5, but I sold my drum scanner years ago.
Surprise corner.
Surprise corner in Banff. If you've never been to Banff, the whole trip will be one giant welcome surprise from nature
I’d never heard of it. Googled some pics and my god it’s gorgeous.
Not sure of the view point still looks the same as the road looks somewhat new and tree grow lots there, but you should be able to come close
There were pictures of a river or a lake, I’m not sure. But it was beautiful

Also as an FYI photoshop requests subreddit might be able to sharpen your great-aunt in that photo.
This is soooo cool! Thanks for sharing!
Great image!
Surprise corner on the way up to the Banff Centre at the top of Buffalo Street
THIS is what its all about.

Banff Springs Hotel! Although I believe it’s called the Fairmont Banff Springs hotel now.

if you're looking for a photographer to recreate. I'd love to be a part of it. I shoot with digital and film.

Please post your pic when you can. Got a pic there with my wife 😎

Came to the comments to see if Reddit could solve this for you and Reddit did not disappoint.
Banff
I’ve stayed in that Hotel.

Wow I was just in this spot in April! Wild.
Those trees might be in the way now.

I think they know that much, since they’re posting in r/banff.
Oh! Haha. So it is. I thought it was one of my photography subs.
There’s a guy on social media who can find the location of any picture. Look him up.
Just used google lens.
Fairmont Banff springs, suprise corner.
I love the people down voting The Grand Budapest hotel! We all know it’s Banff, just looks so much like the hotel in the Grand Budapest Hotel Movie. Get a life..😂
Half way up tunnel mtn, near where paths dicurge to rundle or tunnel mtn. Nice spot
Banff! We were looking to plan a trip there and I thought I recognized that hotel.
Looks like the Overlook Hotel to me.

Banff springs hotel
Grand Budapest
Nope.
My first thought as well.
Oy .. I have never been there but knew where it was. This is an example of how people really do not want to think for themselves these days.
The Shinning

The exterior in The Shining is Timberline Lodge, Mt Hood, Oregon.
I stand corrected
I think you're right about the interior shots.
