The staff was excellent! ❤️ The room was extremely HOT! Do not get a room on 9th floor! And our room in front of elevators! Traffic noise all night. A full refund would be appreciated! Not pleased there are no rooms that pets are not allowed. Hot tub gave me foot fungus. Old and historic beauty but a been there done that hotel. 😔

The Fairmont Hotel has an upscale ambiance, but the pricing does not reflect the value of the services and amenities. We paid $1,000 per night, yet the hotel does not offer free parking—we had to pay an additional $105 for three nights. On top of that, Wi-Fi isn’t included, which is disappointing for a hotel in this price range. The mini-bar was underwhelming, stocked with only some butter and no beverages. The spa services were also overpriced—I paid $339 for a one-hour massage, which can easily be found elsewhere for about one-third of the price. Furthermore, the hotel restaurant was extremely expensive, making it hard to justify dining on-site. While the property itself is beautiful, the overall experience doesn’t live up to the cost.

Amazing staff, restaurants and facilities. This is the best location and the best hotel in the area. The concierge service is amazing staying at the hotel, you don’t need to travel agent. They will arrange all your activities and help you develop an itinerary that will exceed your families needs. We have stayed here both in the winter and the summer and would never stay anywhere else! Whatever cost differences may be present between other hotels in the area is made up by the hotel services, facilities and the amazing Concierge team. The values of this hotel is unbeatable.

The Fairmont Will Never Tell You No: A Winter Wond
The Fairmont Banff Springs offers a world-class experience that’s truly unforgettable, especially in the winter. Known as the “Castle in the Canadian Rockies,” this iconic destination is a must-stay for anyone looking to combine luxury with breathtaking scenery. The Fairmont Gold experience takes your stay to the next level. From a private entrance with valet service to an exclusive concierge located right on your floor, every detail is designed for ultimate convenience. The daily spreads of breakfast, hors d’oeuvres, and desserts are a delight, making each day feel indulgent. The exceptional staff went above and beyond to make our visit special. I requested an in-room Christmas tree to celebrate my 6-month-old’s first winter in a snowy climate, coming from seasonless Los Angeles, and they delivered beautifully. Even our puppy was treated like royalty, with food and water bowls, a cozy bed, and treats awaiting him. The Fairmont’s restaurants are equally impressive, offering a perfect blend of light and hearty meals. We didn’t encounter a single dish that didn’t exceed expectations. After a long day on the slopes, the spa is a must. Relaxing in the heated outdoor pool while surrounded by snowy peaks is an experience you’ll never forget. From thoughtful touches to impeccable service, The Fairmont Banff Springs ensures no request goes unanswered. We’ll undoubtedly be back—there’s simply no comparison.
