We had a fabulous stay at the Fairmont Banff Springs. Everything was seamless upon arrival due to our Gold Experience. The room was beautiful, the view spectacular, and all the Gold amenities spoiled us. I travelled with my 11 year old daughter, and I don’t think she realizes how lucky she was to experience Banff.

Amazing property, views were fantastic, I loved the outdoor pool & yoga class; staff was incredibly helpful; didn’t need to spend $ on food because the Gold Experience Lounge provides breakfast & snacks at dinner time (which is more like a good quality buffet); fireplace in room nice touch.

Nicest hotel in Canada maybe. Nicer location than the Château Frontenac and just as nice if not nicer. You can get a great view of the hotel from “Surprise Corner” look it up in Google maps.
