Fairmont Banff Springs

Fairmont Banff Springs is a large, elegant hotel that is sometimes known as ‘The Castle of the Rockies’. With 745 rooms, it makes the perfect luxurious base from which to explore Banff’s pretty streets and upscale restaurants, and the mountain wilderness beyond. There’s no shortage of things to do or places to relax in on-site – this is a hotel with resort-style facilities. On the Fairmont Banff Springs golf course, you can take a swing with incredible mountain views at every turn. In the spa, you’ll find indoor and outdoor mineral pools – again, with amazing views. There’s also a fitness centre running exercise classes, and an indoor pool with its own bar. When it comes to food, you’ll have a choice of six restaurants, with an emphasis on local flavours and fresh ingredients. The 1888 Chop House has a fantastic traditional menu and award-winning wine list, while Waldhaus is a cottage in the woods with apres-ski vibes and alpine cuisine.
