Discover
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.
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.
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.
Roaring Twenties and the Great Depression
Throughout the 1920s and 30s, the hotel was able to combine day-to-day hotel life with the concept of luxurious hotel living. The depression played a part in the 'golden era' as well.
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.

The Banff Springs hotel is beautiful, but over priced and under whelming for the cost.
It was so wonderful - really appreciated all the amenities with the facility and the incredibly friendly staff!

Our stay here was magical and totally exceeded our expectations. From the majesty of the building, to the pristine location, warm and welcoming staff and everything else in between. We couldn't ask for anything more. If you want the ultimate experience try GOLD........ you won't regret it!!
My stay was great as usual. My room was paid for by another organization, so my Gold status wasn't acknowledged. That was fine as I was not in my room very much. Had a great day at the golf course and enjoyed my business dinner later that night.
We enjoyed the beautiful sceneries around the hotel. We wish we had more time at your hotel.
Everyone had raved about the Fairmont, and how we must stay there. In all honesty, it was very disappointing. The staff was not very helpful and the rooms are very small.

Every interaction with staff was pleasant and efficient.
My wife and I stayed at the Banff Springs for a conference from Sept 14th to 17th. The room was spectacular, the service from the housekeeping staff and valet parking was also exceptional. The service we received in the Rundle Bar was terrible, we were there twice. First time it took some time to be served and we never ended up getting second round due to the lack of service. The second visit we waited 45min to be served and over the course of 2 hrs I was only able to have one drink. For the price paid this isn't acceptable. The food service at the event was also poor, our food was served last and cold the first banquet, our table didn't receive desert, and we only had our original wine pour, no refill. The quality of food was not up to a Fairmont standard nor close to any other banquet we've attended there. On the second night the food service was quicker but the quality was still poor, portions were also small. One small item was the server came around and offered me a coffee place setting but no one came around nor could I find anyone to fill the cup.
