Fairmont Banff Springs is practically synonymous with the majestic peaks, turquoise lakes, glaciers, and ice fields of Banff National Park. The now-iconic castle hotel in the heart of Canada’s first — and most popular — national park opened as a Canadian Pacific Railway hotel in 1888. This was the era when the railways stopped transporting just cargo this endlessly beautiful region of the country, and started bringing tourists to it as well. (As Sir William Cornelius Van Horne, C.P.R.’s general manager famously declared, “If we cannot export the scenery, we will have to import the tourists.”)
With his sister property, Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, the “Castle in the rocky mountains”, as he knew, has been in cubes of cubes for travelers worldwide since then. Today, thanks to its luxury rooms, to a first -price service, to an award that won 40,000 square feet and a terrace with an impatient view of Canadian rocks: travelers have more reasons than ever to review this hotel worthy of destination . Your desire lists.
Fairmont Banff Springs is located in the center of the Banff National Park at the Rundle Mountain base, a few minutes from the captivating city of Banff Mountain. Calgary International Airport (YYC) is 90 miles away.
There are 739 rooms and suites — many with stunning views of the Rockies. The interiors are elegant and contemporary, with pops of jewel tones set against a backdrop of calming neutrals.
If you are going to splash, look at the wonderful suites. Each of the romantic torreta suites at angle, perched on the quiet corners of the castle, has a domain sitting with a snail staircase that leads to a luxury bedroom and a surprising bathroom.
