The Fairmont Banff Springs

Outstanding Hotel

This is a beautiful, historic hotel. We stayed for two nights and had a wonderful time. The staff is incredible. The concierge was extremely helpful in directing us to the most enjoyable activities during our limited stay. We would definitely stay there again.

Happy Honeymoon

Wonderful time

Negative comments in other reviews should be read with caution. We had such a great stay on our first night that we booked a second night as well. Everything was great. The room was extremely comfortable, the overall atmosphere was excellent, and dining out on the veranda looking at the excellent view was tremendous.

Beautiful Old Hotel in a Magnificent Setting

The service was exemplary. The Gold Concierge service was some of the best that I have experienced. The only minor draw back was that the rooms are very small, which is very normal in hotels of this era. Contrary to other comments that I have read, parking on the street is available and so valet parking is not a necessity.

Great Hotel, Can hear everything happening in the Halls.

We stayed for 2 nights. The extra money for the parking was a bit overboard (25$/day) for Hotel guests. The rooms were not huge, but very well kept. We had some problems with noisy people roaming the halls. I would expect a Hotel like this to have more soundproofing from that sort of disturbance.

Its the destination

The Banff Springs is a destination in itself. It is not a hotel one chooses for value. That said, however, I could never imagine paying full price. While there are gold level rooms, and view rooms, all rooms, even the least expensive, have gorgeous views. If you plan to visit the parks, save the money and get a Fairmont level room. The service at every level is impeccable, the restaurants are pricey but excellent. Join the President's Club in advance for the free internet and other frills, such as priority checkin/out. Its possible to avoid the parking fee by parking on the street.

Look for deals here!

We never would have been able to stay here with out a lucky find of a deal. Grateful to stay in such a beautiful and memorable place for our honeymoon. We received an unexpected bottle of champagne to help us celebrate. We took the fascinating free tour of it's extensive history. Strolled along the Bow River and it's waterfall leading us back to the hotel from town. Gorgeous! We had a rental car..beware of the approx. $30.00 p/day to park valet/$25.00 to self -park, when free parking is available in 4 hour increments on the street out front,and all night between 9PM and 8 AM. The staff, while terrific and more than helpful, must be instructed not to encourage "free parking" as they won't directly answer "free parking availability questions, and speak of the "risk"..which would be no different than if they parked for you.. Which also rang true at the Chateau Lake Louise Fairmont, which a short walk away, also offers free public parking. but overall, hope to go back!

Overated

Not worth the money. Too many people, impersonal, corporate feel.
