Overview
Rising like a Scottish baronial castle above the confluence of the Bow and Spray rivers, the Fairmont Banff Springs has defined luxury in the Canadian Rockies since 1888. Guests enjoy a 40,000-square-foot Willow Stream Spa with mineral pools, a Stanley Thompson-designed 27-hole championship golf course, and 12 on-site restaurants and lounges ranging from casual to award-winning fine dining. The hotel also features indoor and outdoor pools, a bowling centre, and year-round guided heritage tours that trace over 130 years of history. Whether you're watching elk graze on the golf course at sunrise or soaking in a mineral pool overlooking the mountains, this is the quintessential Canadian Rockies experience.
