Delicious Dining Options

During my stay, I had the pleasure of dining at the Japanese restaurant and it was absolutely wonderful! The variety and quality of the food made for a fantastic dining experience. Additionally, the on-site deli offered delicious sandwiches and soups, which were perfect for a quick meal alternative. I was truly impressed with the options available at the Fairmont Banff Springs.

Relaxing Spa Experience

I booked a spa appointment and was grateful for their flexible cancellation policy when I unfortunately caught a cold. They allowed me to reschedule without any additional fees, which showed how much they value guest comfort. The atmosphere was relaxing and rejuvenating, making it a highlight of my stay.

Comfortable Accommodations

The room I stayed in was recently renovated and very comfortable, which made my stay all the more enjoyable. I appreciated the larger windows that offered stunning views of the mountains outside. It was the perfect retreat at the end of a busy day of exploring.

Well-Equipped Gym

I was impressed with the gym facilities at the hotel. It was fully equipped with various exercise machines and had a fantastic view, which is a huge bonus when working out. I didn’t have time for a swim in the indoor pool, but it looked inviting for those who enjoy swimming.

8.8/10

My stay at the Fairmont was absolutely delightful! The hotel is stunning, resembling a fairy tale castle, and the Gold level experience truly set it apart with impeccable service and beautiful mountain views. However, the air conditioning in our room was not functioning, and response to our concern was lackluster. Also, while the room size was generous, some decor felt outdated, which was slightly disappointing for a hotel of this caliber.

My stay at the hotel was nothing short of exceptional. The breathtaking views and luxurious ambiance left me in awe, and the staff truly made me feel valued and welcomed. I did find some dining options a bit pricey for the value received, but overall, the experience was outstanding. If you’re looking for a place that treats you like royalty, this is it. Just be mindful of the costs associated with dining and parking when planning your budget.

This hotel feels like a majestic castle nestled in the mountains, with breathtaking views and a warm ambiance perfect for a romantic getaway. The staff goes above and beyond, making you feel incredibly welcome, and the outdoor heated pool offers an unforgettable experience amid the winter chill. However, while the facilities and services are top-notch, the dining options could use some improvement to better match the hotel's grandeur.

Our stay at the castle during Christmas was truly magical. The property felt like a fairy tale with exquisitely designed brickwork and elegant interiors. The views were lovely, and the staff provided top-notch service from the moment we arrived. Although the Christmas Day buffet had some cold food, it didn’t overshadow our overall delightful experience. I would highly recommend visiting this enchanting place!

6.8/10

The Fairmont Banff Springs has an impressive exterior and acknowledges its historic charm, but my stay was marred by long check-in times, noise issues, and unexpected fees. While the hotel offers beautiful views and a nice breakfast at the Fairmont Lounge, the pricing and overall experience didn't feel justified, especially considering the extra costs for spa access and other amenities. Be prepared for a luxurious environment, but be cautious about additional charges.

Rooms

6.0

The room was decent but hardly worth the nearly $1000 I paid per night, and the limited size made it hard to move around with two ski bags.

Service

7.0

The service was somewhat pleasant, but the staff seemed overwhelmed during peak hours, leading to longer wait times and less personal attention.

Location

7.0

The hotel is situated nicely above the Bow Falls, but it's a bit of a trek to get into town, making taxi rides necessary, which added to our overall costs.

Dining

9.0

Breakfast in the Fairmont Lounge was delightful and varied, offering a mix of sweet and savory options that were enjoyable.

Facilities

5.0

The spa facilities looked luxurious, but access fees felt exorbitant, particularly for hotel guests paying a premium already.
