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.
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.
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.

The facilities just come alive with history and you can feel the greatness. I've been to castles in Europe but they don't compare to the experience you receive staying at the Fairmont in Banff.
Staff was friendly. The scenery was breathtaking. The food was delicious. The shopping was great. I will definitely be returning in the future.
Good stay with great service experience and amenities. Location was nice, and the gold service experience was appreciated. Only improvement to maybe have the resort activities that were booked be included on the arrival package.
I forgot toothpaste and they didn't even have any at the front to provide. On top of this, I wasn't allowed a later check out of even 30 minutes, whereas other people who were apart of our meeting at the hotel were able to. For how expensive it is to stay there, you'd think you would be a little more accomodating.
Relaxing
On the May long weekend, my graduating class held a reunion at the Banff Springs Hotel. It was an overwhelming success. The hotel attended to all of the details of the meeting efficiently and the attention to detail from all of the staff made our stay at the Banff Springs Hotel memorable.
Amazing stay in all respects except one. On our final day we joined friends for brunch. Fantastic selection of foods and desserts but we were unable to fully enjoy it as our reservation was for 1:15 pm and, after catching up with friends we had not seen in decades, we made one trip to the buffet and were told they would shortly be closing. Very disappointed to have paid $100 per person (including tip) for such a brief experience of what was obviously an amazing meal.

There is no doubt the springs is a great spot, but the service I received from Don and everyone, even before I arrived was amazing. I needed special accommodations for meals during a conference post cancer surgery and they made me feel totally VIP! My room and the housekeeping staff were incredible. Make sure you enjoy the amenities like the outdoor pool. Simply heavenly!
The grandness and historic nature of the facilities added to the enjoyment of the stay. The views were amazing until unfortunately, smoke rolled in and blocked much of the mountains. The staff were very responsive and pleasant, the rooms were clean and comfortable and when I had an issue with the AC, it was repaired and running in good time.
