Framed by the breathtaking alpine scenery of Banff National Park, Canada’s iconic “Castle in the Rockies” is a year-round luxury mountain retreat.
A true national landmark, the world-famous Fairmont Banff Springs has presided over the charming alpine town of Banff since 1888. Today, guests are treated to championship golf in the summer and unparalleled skiing in the winter, as well as array of classic adventures that include fishing on Lake Minnewanka, white water rafting the Horseshoe Canyon and driving the famous Icefields Parkway.
The award-winning European-style Willow Stream Spa, and authentically local dining experiences in 12 acclaimed restaurants, are among the hotel’s other allurements. When it comes to accommodation, the Fairmont boasts a grand total of 757 superbly appointed rooms. Take your pick from cosy bedrooms tucked away in quiet corners of the castle to spacious suites with sweeping Alberta mountain views.
A short stroll will bring you into Banff where you can discover local galleries and museums, upscale shops, fine restaurants and local attractions like the Banff Gondola. You can also join an educational talk with a naturalist, or enjoy a soak in the outdoor heated pool overlooking the Bow Valley.
