Fairmont Banff Springs
Banff Springs Hotel
The 'Castle in the Rockies' built by the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1888. A Scottish baronial-style building and a National Historic Site of Canada.
The Fairmont Banff Springs hotel was built by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company in 1888. Its present Scottish baronial stone main building was completed in 1928, and it is hailed as the 'Castle in the Mountains', a National Historic Site of Canada. Non-guests can visit the lobby, historic corridors and shops, have afternoon tea in the hotel restaurant, or enjoy the Willow Stream spa. The golf course beside the hotel is next to Bow Falls. It is about a 25-minute walk from Banff Avenue, or you can take Roam Transit Route 2. The entire hotel can be photographed from the Surprise Corner viewpoint across the river.
