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 Also, while the room size was generous, some decor felt outdated, which was slightly disappointing for a hotel of this caliber.

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!

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

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

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

Facilities
