The Grizzly Paw is one of the standard places to eat there (especially
if you like microbrews); also worthwhile in Canmore if you're feeling a
bit more athletic is the climb up Ha Ling peak. It's more of a tough
walk than an actual climb (unless you climb the vertical side, that is),
but the view from the top is worth the effort.

And don't forget that you can wander around there looking at the
different bits of hotel, and nobody'll stop you -- same thing with the
Banff Springs.
