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.

We had 2 rooms booked for a two night stay to celebrate my birthday. Unfortunately the rooms we got were very squishy, not much room at all compared to the year before. We didnt love the renovations either - its so ... modern. We didnt book this hotel for modern. We wanted that classic, old hotel experience like we experienced in 2021. The renos are so terrible! Paint drips and shoddy workmanship everywhere we turned - huge dents that were not filled, just painted over. And the bathroom doors...holy crap. Sure, theyre pretty but they are NOT functional. We asked to me switched to new rooms after the first night. They moved us to the gatehouse and it was lovely, although a hike to the main lobby and pool area. Unfortunately we didnt have shampoo or soap in our room, and also did not have tea. So we requested that from the front desk... and it never came. We were hoping for a late checkout, but they werent able to accommodate that which was disappointing. Not sure we will come back a third time to be honest.
Have stayed multiple times previously at the Fairmont Gold floor at the Banff Springs, and it previously has been a magical experience. Starting with the good -- wait staff and the bartender in the Gold Lounge were exceptional (bartender makes a mean Old Fashioned). However... this time we ended up in a small room though it was reserved and paid for as a "deluxe king"; staff botched check in (at the main desk) and check out (trying to use a US$ gift card, I'm still waiting for a correction to account for the exchange rate difference); and there were other minor missteps. Rooms were still being furnished after the recent renovation and it appeared some pieces were missing. The reno itself ended up with an odd outcome of an attempt at spare Art Deco in greys and bold colors yet kept the (miniscule) bathroom in dated beige. Tried to have a drink at the Rundle Bar -- waited nearly 15 minutes to be served and finally walked out; as we were leaving, bartender asked if everything was ok (a little late!). Stunning views, storied historical property, but for these prices attention to detail is important and missing.

We came to the Banff Springs for our company holiday party - quite lovely. I would have loved to see more christmas decorations though.
TO a person the staff were great, truly appreciated the young gentleman coming out to greet us @ the car and take us to the 5th floor. Was a zoo when we arrived so this really set the stage for the weekend.
The staff was very helpful and pleasant to deal with. Awesome job dealing with all the parking. Excellent selection of food for the bed and breakfast.
Everyone we interacted with at the Fairmont Banff springs far exceeded our expectations. It was an absolute privilege to stay at this hotel, we felt like royalty and will never forget it and we will definitely be back.
From the welcome/follow up text/emails right through to check out the Gold Level Team members were simply outstanding!
