Description:
|
Built in 1888 to accommodate Victorian tourists who came to visit the area's hot springs, this spectacular hotel was the world's largest when it opened. Built and furnished to resemble a Scottish castle, it was designed by Bruce Price, a New York architect, at the urging of William Van Horne, General Manager of Canadian Pacific Railways. The hotel, which is known as "Canada's Castle in the Rockies," remains as Banff's signature property and, following renovations begun in 1999, is still one of the most beautiful hotels in Canada. Day visitors are permitted to enjoy its restaurants, shops, and spa. |

| | We have been going to the Banff Springs Hotel for the past 14 years. We were a little concerned when Canadian Pacific sold it to Fairmont Hotels. We thought it might lose it charm...But the Fairmont has restored The Banff Springs Hotel to the Grande Dame she once was, and in the mean time losing none of its charm, atmosphere, and top service. We have travel all over the world, and The Banff Springs Fairmont, is foremost the best hotel we have stayed in... | |

| | My husband and I have just returned from our second stay at the Banff Springs Hotel (our 1st in 1998) and again we were renewed in spirit and body. It is a lovely place in beautiful surroundings. A very relaxing atmosphere with a hotel staff that makes your stay very pleasant. This is our favorite romantic spot. | |

| | What a gorgeous hotel in the middle of some of the "best" scenery in the world. As we were there in August, I can't wait to return during the winter months as I am sure the scene is one of a winter wonderland. |
