We had a fabulous experience at the Fairmont. It was bar none the best vacation for us. From the incredible mountain views, lovely room, breakfast and evening hors d’oeuvres, friendly, service oriented staff, Banff will forever be a beautiful memory. We are recommending the Fairmont to all our friends & family. Canada holds a special place in our heart. We love Canada!!!

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Breathtaking views from the castle!

The fairmont was magical! What a beautiful place in a beautiful setting! Loved the “gold” experience from a food standpoint! Will be back!

The Fairmont Banff Springs lives up to the hype! We had an amazing experience. The facilities were inviting and fun, and the staff was exceptional--going way beyond expectations for how we were treated. We can't wait to go back!

Excellent Hotel with a priceless Rockies’ View

My partner and I stayed on the 5th Floor Fairmont Banff Springs Gold Floor View. This was the very best experience. Access to a Full Lounge with Breakfast and Dinner items and access to drinks and snacks throughout the day. Comfy rooms, wonderful beds! Very helpful, friendly and attentive Gold Floor Staff. We had lunch, dinner and afternoon tea at the Hotel’s dining rooms. Excellent Food, Service and Ambience. Wonderful! The Hotel is clean and tidy, and while a huge Hotel there’s lots of signs for direction. We enjoyed a couples’ massage as well as several swims in a well maintained pool. Overall, an excellent, 5 Star Hotel!
This is the actual view from our Room!

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.

People make the difference…

The best hotel service we can recall from Michelle who greater us on our arrival and managed our parking, to Mikael who showed us around the Fairmont Gold experience and amenities, to Suku who managed our check in and daily needs. Panoramic view of the Rockies from our bay window at the iconic Fairmont Banff Springs.

We were blown away by the amazing service given by every last person there. Elle was truly a gem and took us to the room to ensure we were happy with the room. Truly a wonderful experience

Scenery was spectacular, staff was very accommodating and friendly. Very expensive but worth it if you can afford it.
Joseph S, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I have traveled around the world and this is one of the most awesome places I have stayed. The hotel is large but they have been able to have numerous small restaurants and bars (and put the conference center in a separate building) so that it seems like a small charming hotel. We enjoyed Fairmont Gold which made it even better with the lounge for breakfast and happy hour. On top of how outstanding the hotel and staff are - the location makes it even more spectacular. Even if you don't have your own car, they have shuttles to most places including Lake Louise. Food was great and staff amazing. I can't wait to return!
Robin, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very friendly and helpful staff. 1888 restaurant over priced and pretentious. Food not so good. Not worth paying $95 for a steak.
John, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property and staff are fantastic. Our one BIG issue was the strong rose-scented fragrance that is piped into the hallways and possibly our room too. The fragrance is very strong and overwhelming. My wife had a headache after about an hour in the room. We had to ask for an air filter unit and to keep the room window open soe several hours to make it tollerable. Bathroom products have the same scent.
Chris, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Easy access, hard to book a room here because its so popular had to book last year. Only thing didnt like about it was there wasnt any hot water at times. Even running the water constantly you wouldnt get any.
