Overview

The Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel is a distinctive and impressive landmark in Banff, Canada. Its imposing castle structure forms an amazing backdrop to the town in its elevated position just a mile from the centre.

The Fairmont Banff Springs is steeped in history. A cross between a Scottish castle and French chateau, it is more of a town than a hotel. With 770 bedrooms, 15 shops and 12 restaurants offering a vast range of cuisine, you really do not have to leave the resort.

The hotel is large – with 770 rooms – but despite its size, you will find plenty quiet corners in the hotel where you can escape.

There are a variety of room types available at the Fairmont – all of which are described below. Like other Fairmonts, Banff Springs Fairmont has a hotel within a hotel. Fairmont Gold rooms have a separate check-in area with complimentary Wi-Fi, buffet breakfasts, coffee, tea and canapes. It’s worth noting that despite their higher price tag the ‘Fairmont Gold’ rooms do not have mountain or valley views, so if that is a priority you’re better off choosing a Fairmont View Room.

The Fairmont Banff Springs offers all the facilities you would expect from a world-class hotel including 12 restaurants and lounges, a top class spa, shopping, bowling centre and a kids club. The hotel has 768 superb guest rooms ranging from cosy rooms tucked away in the castle, to spacious suites with sweeping panoramic views of the surrounding Alberta mountains.

Shuttle busses take you to all three nearby resorts stop right outside the hotel, so you’re never too far away.
