John Locke built the original Homestead Hotel as a "Temperance House" in the six years between 1913 and 1919.

In 1919 the hotel was purchased by local businessman David M. Soole. In 1930 Mr. Soole built the Homestead Restaurant and Tavern adding it to the existing hotel in response to the park's growth as an international travel destination and the increasing demand for a quality dining facility in Banff. The prominent location of the hotel and restaurant was convenient to both motor travellers and rail passengers arriving in Banff.

The restaurant is the only remaining portion of the original Homestead Hotel complex. The rustic log interior and stucco Tudor exterior remain true to the original design. The building remains a significant social landmark.

Now renamed Melissa's Restaurant and Bar, it is still locally owned and operated, and continues to offer quality dining. Melissa'a is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. With a wide-ranging selection of items, our menus will appeal to all budgets and tastes. And with room to seat 150 people, Melissa's can accommodate group and special events of any size. See you soon!

Melissa's Restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner each day from 7:30 AM to 9:30 PM. Be sure to try their lounge, upstairs, for apres-ski drinks and snacks.
