We had a fabulous stay at the Fairmont Banff Springs.
Everything was seamless upon arrival due to our Gold Experience. The room was beautiful, the view spectacular, and all the Gold amenities spoiled us.
I travelled with my 11 year old daughter, and I don’t think she realizes how lucky she was to experience Banff.

Amazing property, views were fantastic, I loved the outdoor pool & yoga class; staff was incredibly helpful; didn’t need to spend $ on food because the Gold Experience Lounge provides breakfast & snacks at dinner time (which is more like a good quality buffet); fireplace in room nice touch.

People make the difference…
The best hotel service we can recall from Michelle who greater us on our arrival and managed our parking, to Mikael who showed us around the Fairmont Gold experience and amenities, to Suku who managed our check in and daily needs. Panoramic view of the Rockies from our bay window at the iconic Fairmont Banff Springs.

I have traveled around the world and this is one of the most awesome places I have stayed. The hotel is large but they have been able to have numerous small restaurants and bars (and put the conference center in a separate building) so that it seems like a small charming hotel. We enjoyed Fairmont Gold which made it even better with the lounge for breakfast and happy hour. On top of how outstanding the hotel and staff are - the location makes it even more spectacular. Even if you don't have your own car, they have shuttles to most places including Lake Louise. Food was great and staff amazing. I can't wait to return!

Couldn’t ask for beer.
Nicest hotel in Canada maybe. Nicer location than the Château Frontenac and just as nice if not nicer. You can get a great view of the hotel from “Surprise Corner” look it up in Google maps.

Easy access, hard to book a room here because its so popular had to book last year. Only thing didnt like about it was there wasnt any hot water at times. Even running the water constantly you wouldnt get any.

Very friendly and helpful staff. 1888 restaurant over priced and pretentious. Food not so good. Not worth paying $95 for a steak.
