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 stayed for six days and use nearly every amenity visited nearly every restaurant in the hotel, had a conference, went to a gala.. went into town. We used the spa. We availed ourselves of the free bus passes, we called the front desk, and almost every experience was an absolute 12 out of 10. I was not enthralled with the conference food; one lunch was not edible due to the over-salted mains and I believe a few of us got food poisoning at the gala from the scallop dish.

The stay at the Fairmont Banff Springs was a long anticipated experience! It was a dream for my mother and I to stay there. While she was visiting Alberta for Christmas, I planned for us to stay on Christmas Eve. The room was lovely, all staff were welcoming and helpful, and the grounds were decorated for Christmas. We loved the stocking that was hung on our door- it was a nice touch. Thank you again for a Christmas at the Castle that my mother and I will remember forever!
My first stay in a Fairmont Gold @ the Banff Springs Hotel was amazing. The services and support on the 5th floor exceeded all expectations.
The hotel is beautiful. Having said that, the room that I was given was not a room that I would recommend for anyone staying there for business. I had no desk to set up for working. Only a small round table that had an electrical outlet in the middle. Setting up a computer was not possible. The bathroom was so tiny, that I had to grab the toilet paper before I sat down or I would have to be a contortionist to get it.

I believe we were placed on a 'Dog' Floor of which we had to complain to Mngm't on our second night due to the 'barking' because we had a 'Discount' on our rates because I received the 'Veteran' (Military) discount on our rates.
Wonderful venue . Beautiful facilities . Room Service and phone not working. But other than that. Great stay
Three nights at the beautiful Banff Springs in January 2023. Upon arrival the staff we very welcoming and helpful. The lobby has a fresh floral scent that is delightful. Somewhat out of place for January, you'd think it was air freshener but it is actually fresh flowers.
The staff at Banff springs were very considerate, attentive and friendly. The view was amazing and the pool/hot tub was great. I felt very welcome at the hotel. It is a gem in the Rockies!
I stayed at the Banff Springs Hotel for 4 nights. Initially there were some hiccups during check-in but this was promptly resolved. Stay was comfortable and staff bend over backwards to accommodate guests. Only complaint I have was I was staying at the gatehouse suites and the lighting I found in the bedroom was inadequate The living room in the suite is well lit but not the bedroom. Light in the closet is helpful but the room could use a bit of lighting as well.
