The Fairmont Banff Springs

The Fairmont Banff Springs is 'Fairmont's Castle in the Rockies' and a world-renowned symbol of Canadian hospitality. William Van Horne, then General Manager of the Canadian Pacific Railway, is credited with recognizing the tourist potential of the hot springs near the station of Banff. In 1886, Van Horne commissioned Bruce Price of New York, one of the foremost architects of the day, to draw up plans for a hotel to be built above the confluence of the Bow and the Spray Rivers overlooking the beautiful Bow Valley.

The Fairmont Banff Springs has been open year round since 1969, and since that time, all the rooms have been remodeled, as have the swimming pool and health facilities. The Fairmont Banff Springs continues to follow Van Horne's dictum of dynamic expansion and excellence. Offering something for vacationers and business visitors alike, it also endures as a meeting place for the world's fashionable and wealthy.

On March 22, 1992, The Fairmont Banff Springs was declared a historical site by the Sites and Monuments Board of Canada.

Offering all the amenities of a world-class resort, with 770 superbly appointed guest rooms and attentive, personalized service. From cozy rooms tucked away in quiet corners of the castle to spacious suites with sweeping mountain views, The Fairmont Banff Springs has the perfect room for you.
