Struggle to put into words how highly I would recommend this hotel! Booked for my wedding anniversary and may make it a yearly event. Fabulous staff who cater to your every need and food that is to die for. Did not get a chance to try out there spa, looks great so maybe next time!

Magnificent in all it's baronial splendour, everyone should stay at the Fairmont Banff Springs at least once in a lifetime. We have been lucky enough to stay a number of times over the years and yet the historical decor of the public rooms still never fails to impress. You can probably spend a day just exploring this huge hotel discovering lots of interesting nooks and crannies as well as shopping in the lovely little stores. On the accommodation side, we have generally found the rooms to be comfortable but small with extremely tiny bathrooms. If you are able to book a suite it is probably worth the upgrade if space is important to you. We love the heated indoor/outdoor pool to gaze up at the stars at night. The restaurants here are top notch and the breakfast buffet is sumptuous. There are also lots of activities on offer making the daily resort fee worthwhile. If you have time also check out some of the cozy bars scattered about the property.

Good and bad
Our room was nice enough, although the bathroom was very small. We enjoyed the hotel but found the service in the Rundle Bar lacking. The bar tenders couldn't/wouldn't take drink orders, the wait staff often ignored members of our group so some missed out on getting drinks, meals were mixed up etc. Given the size of the hotel having half of one bar open when the hotel was nearly full was subpar.

Spectacular Property, worth every penny for the scenery alone
This is still one of my favorite properties on earth. Winter or summer you never get better views, service or facilities. This property has been setting standards for 150 years, and continues to perform. You can explore the property for days and still find new nooks and crannies. Whatever the rate (it's high), it is worth every penny. Don't trouble yourself with activities outside the hotel property until you have fully taken advantage of the dining and activities in the hotel.

Canadian winter getaway
We have nothing but positive things to say about our experience. All the staff here were incredibly accommodating and professional, from the concierge, valet, check-in, servers, to tour guides. The buildings are beautiful and impressive. We booked a Vermillion room, which was in the original building with a beautiful mountain view. Our room had a lot of character, with beveled ceilings and gabled window seating area. The furniture was incredibly lovely modern and thoughtful with plenty of USB ports included for convenience. Our bathroom was on the small size, so we just had to stay organized to make it work. We had a very large walk-in closet that I took advantage of to keep all my winter layers in order. The food here is incredible. For breakfast we did both the buffet and a la cart, all delicious. We like the ambience of pubs so ate in the Waldhaus pub, where they made delicious schnitzel, and at the Ramsay Bar, which serves the same menu as the Castello Italiana. It was all beautifully decorated for Christmas and felt very magical. We went for a dip in the outdoor pool after our wilderness walk with the hotel guide, what a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. We also did the quick history tour and learned about the hotel's beginnings which was very interesting. I hope to come back one day to stay in a different season, and to try out some of the other restaurants and take in the high tea service.
