Fairmont Banff Springs

Fairmont Banff Springs is a grand mountain hotel in the town of Banff, within Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies of Alberta. Built in the style of a castle, it has long been a landmark for travellers who want to be surrounded by soaring peaks, forest and river valley while still enjoying the comforts of a large, full service hotel. For many visitors it is as much a destination in itself as a place to rest between adventures.
