An Exquisite property with a beautiful location.

The Fairmont Banff Springs is an exquisite property with a beautiful location. Located just a few minutes from the City Centre, and built like a castle, it provides breathtaking views of the mountains and overlooks the Bow River and Waterfall. The restaurants have an old world regal ambience and the service is friendly and excellent. The Waldhaus Pub overlooking the Golf Course and the Bow River is a great place to have an evening drink and the Patio and Terrace is a lovely place to while away the afternoon over a Beer while enjoying the lovely mountain views in the company of Elks who often wander around the property. The only negative I could think of is the size of the bathrooms which do not do justice to such a beautiful Hotel. Apart from that I would definitely recommend The Fairmont to anyone who visits Banff. We really enjoyed our stay and would look forward to visiting again.

Stunning Location, Historic Property

Chicago, Illinois

This is a beautiful property in an absolutely stunning location. The hotel itself is a grand, historic building that has been maintained well. Plenty of restaurants onsite. Our favorites were the german restaurant down the hill as well as the lobby coffee shop. Genuinely friendly and competent staff. I appreciate hotels where its clear they take their work seriously but they don't take themselves too seriously and that certainly is the case here. Highly recommend the historic tour available some days to give you a greater appreciation of the property. We were at the hotel for a conference and the guide pointed out things that we were walking over/through every day that we would have otherwise never noticed (including the brass doors leading to our meeting room being valued at half-a-million dollars a piece). The only thing keeping this from being 5 stars was the room itself. I'm the lowest priority on the loyalty totem pole (conference attendee, new to Fairmont) and the room certainly showed it. It was against a service corridor so I could hear rolling carts/housekeeping into the night and it overlooked the air conditioning unit. Some hotels are bound to have bad rooms (especially in historic properties) but that kept my stay from being extraordinary. If this property is your once-in-a-lifetime trip, I would recommend paying extra for a higher quality room type since some of the standard rooms aren't ideal.

Facilities

Willow Stream Spa

The hotel was originally built close to the Banff hot springs and this luxury spa pays homage to that pilgrimage-worthy site. Of course, things are rather more advanced nowadays and guests can instead enjoy a soak in the central spa pool with pulsating waterfalls and a serene atmosphere, make the most of the sauna and steam room or pamper yourself with a relaxing spa treatment.

Swimming Pools

The hotel has several pool options in the spa area including three waterfall whirlpools, an indoor and an outdoor whirlpool and an indoor mineral pool.

Fitness Centre

This 24-hour facility offers the best in fitness with free weights, strength training equipment, cardio machines, stability balls, kettle bells, an exercise studio, exercise classes, personal trainers and more.

The Fairmont Banff Springs Golf Course

Stanley Thompson, legendary golf-course designer, created this beautiful course back in 1928 and even today you can admire the graceful lines and panoramic views. There are 27 holes to play, proving a challenging and exhilarating experience for golf experts and amateurs alike.
