Reminiscent of the hot springs that beckoned travellers over 100 years ago, the pulsating waterfalls and the mineral pool in the heart of the Banff spa soothe troubled spirits.
1888
The Beginning
William Cornelius Van Horne had a vision to bring the beauty of the Canadian Rocky Mountains to the rest of the world. He commissioned blueprints for an impressive hotel to be built at the convergence of the Bow and Spray River, in what is now known as Canada's first National Park. Construction began in 1887 and the hotel publically opened on June 1, 1888.
1900s The 20th Century
By the start of the twentieth century, the Banff Springs luxury Hotel had developed into one of the top three mountain getaways in North America. Disaster struck in 1926 when the original wooden hotel burnt down. It was rebuilt larger and in its present appearance commencing in 1928.
1940s Adapting to a New Way of Life
Through the 1940s to 60s, the hotel struggled to reclaim the success it had before the war. The hotel went through a significant change, adapting to the economics of the time. Transportation, convenience and availability to monetary funds jointly changed the whole perspective of the hotel.
"Since we can't export the scenery, we'll have to import the tourists."
William Cornelius Van Horne
By the 70s, the hotel reached a pivotal point. For the first time, Banff Springs remained open for the winter season, becoming a year-round resort destination. The 80s then brought expansion and renovation back to the hotel.

One of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed. In room breakfast was delicious. Try their pancakes they’re so good! Very friendly and accommodating staff. Though the hotel is old, our room was spotless and very clean. We Love everything about this hotel. I told my husband that I wanna go back so he needs to sign up for his next conference 😊
Awesome time and thank you!

The Gateway section has a distinct sewer smell everywhere outside and inside the building, the mattresses are extremely hard, noisy and uncomfortable. For $1500 a night I would rather drive to Vancouver and stay at the Pacific Rim. Because at those prices you are saying this hotel is significantly superior to that one. It most definitely is not.
