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.

Stayed for a conference. Room and facilities (pool), convenient shops were wonderful. Food could have been better.
The Gold level has certainly exceeded all expectations, from ski valet to excellent cuisine.

I was staying at this hotel on this particular occasion to attend a conference, something I have done a couple of times over the years. Other times it has been as a private person and other times as a travel journalist. I love it here, and I’ve had so many different types of rooms! This was not one of my best rooms, as it was only on the second floor, and it overlooked the road where the buses turn around. Having said that, there is no bad view at the hotel. The customer service rep will answer your call within a split second of calling , and indeed, customer service is very valued at this hotel. There is a magic here that can’t be denied! If I was to have one complaint, it is that the bathrooms are not really designed for people who take baths. The soap and shampoo dispensers are so high up, that it is necessary to climb up out of your bath. Once for the shampoo, another time for the conditioner, and another time, yet for the body wash . But on that note, I love the new rose 31 products that are being used at the hotel. Excellent choice! Thank you for a wonderful experience at this iconic and get cozy home in the mountains.
Everything about Fairmont Banff Springs was first in class. I’ve never seen a more welcoming staff throughout the entire building. If you are looking for a dream vacation this is your spot!

The only thing keeping me from giving a ten was room.service changed our garbage (like requested) but left the 6 heaping towels from swimming on our floor in the bathroom. Thank you for a great experince!!
